Can't 2 or 3 mm be shaved off the back side of the wheel...the part that meets the hub?

Konig only makes a wider wheel (8.5) with a +38, the idiots ordered that for me first, it stuck out a ton as you can imagine, I was skeptical of cheap rims actually fitting in a staggered setup =(

eventually, of course I'd like nicer rims, but I needed new tires, and for not too much dough I feel like I have a new car again =)

around $1600, mounted balanced, locking lugs and Kumho 712's... I mean, honestly, it's only saving maybe $500 over some better options...

that's $500 I'll need for some bike track days soon

oh brotha', they weigh a TON.... for me, the s2k is a pretty slow car (compared to my other 2 options) so it wasn't an issue... but they are definitely heavy =)
