Wheel Guru's
Got a question about some wheels that I am looking to refinish. The following specs are:
20x9 +38
2 inch Lip
20x10.5 +45
3 inch Lip
What I want to know is if I can machine a few mm off each wheel, thus lowering the offsets so that I can run a 4 in rear lip and possibly a 2.5inch front lip?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and stay tuned for pics in the upcoming months

You mean shaving back face of your wheel off a few millimeters?
How few? 2-3 millimeters? It should be OK though not recommended. Wheels are designed and calculated carefully at the manufuacturerer facilty. Any modification might leads to unexpected decrease in structural rigidity of the rims.

I assume you're talking about the lip on the wheels. I am wondering how shaving anything is going to change this? You would need to move the center portion of the wheel back.... (which i have never heard of)

and vice versa
Shaving the back face will acheive Higher Offset.
I thought that you would like to shave the back off and compensate by changing to the deeper barrel to acheive deep dish look.
