Meh. I can't really see the rims, and shaving is not the answer. Why don't you modify the wheel wells and make them fit. Mod your car to the rim not the other way around. That's how it's done in Hawaii. Anyway good luck.

it still sticks out too much, it needs to be shaved a little. I know of numerous shops here that just repair/shave rims all day and have never had a problem with itl

What are the tire sizes and wheel widths? I always wanted to run a 40 series up front because I hate how thin the 35 series are. Also do you rub with the 40's currently?

Shave? Arent they 3 piece? Why not call iForged and get them to redo the rims in the proper offset....Shaving is NOT safe for more than a few mm's....7-8 is ALOT and if dont improperly they will never balance right....or worse, they will weaken the wheel and they will become DANGEROUS.....
