Where would I be able to shave wheels (changing offset) ?

[TheFastLane]

Got some rims that are a little low on offset, need to shave them down 3 mm..

currently 42mm offset, need to change them to 45mm offset..

Any idea on who can do this locally? and price?

PM mazda kitten. Maybe her shop that did her BBS rims can help you

[cyberscorpi0]

Have you consider selling them and buy the correct OFFSET?

I've looked into this, and its not an easy or cheap job. 42 offset can still work on a Mazda 3 if your rim is 7.5" wide or less.

Look at it this way if you shave (the reasons why I haven't):
- Loose structural integrity
- Loose balance
- Pricey
- Looses value of rim (if you ever want to sell)

Try it, if it rubs, sell the rims and get new ones

OR

Try a 215mm tire instead of 225mm

do you know how much it would be do change offset? i am looking at rims that only come in +40 offset for 18x7.5.

All the 18 rims I want comes in 18 x 7.5 with 42 offset. Interested in how much it is to shave it too?

does 5 mm really make that big of a difference (45 to 40)...it doesnt seem like...half a centimeter... hmmm

Try Tire Mag in Concord. I think their contact can be found at tiremag.ca. I know they do all sorts of offset and custom work. Try asking for Steve.
