wouldn't spacers space it out, i'm guessing he wants his wheels closer in??
From what i've read on here before aswell it wouldn't be the best idea to start latheing your wheels, i'm sure it weakens them or something

you can only go a max of 3mm machining before your comprimising the strength of the bolt face

so it wouldnt be a good idea to take about 8mm of then, my wheels r et37. cud i have 3mm machined off wheel n get sum drums from scrappy and have some material machined off them as well? or is that also dodgy
