What offset are they? I think i remember someone with a 10" rear slightly rubbing the rear shock. Another had enlarged the OEM wheel to 10" and that was fine, not sure what tyre sizes they were running

Try Dela-Pina they make excellent honing tools and will follow the existing profile, all you need is an electric drill. Should make short work, otherwise get them mounted in a lathe.

I think m1bjr looked into this when he wanted to put OEM rears on the front for non staggered set up.
Sure did.
I used oem 2007 rears on the front for non-stagger. Fantastic mod.
Local car engine refurbishers turned mine out to a clearance fit for £40.
Anyone with a big drill can do it.

BUT make sure you explain about centre caps if you have them.
Maybe you wont want to go the full depth.

could do it yourself depending on how much material you need to take away

if its a small amount get a dremel or die grinder and be gentle untill you remove enough material then take the wheels to be ballanced and everything should be ok.

its a brave move to do on a set of BBS rims
