Wheels machining

[Bass Junky]

Hey guys.

All this talk about wheel spacers has led my in the opposite direction.

I think the wheels on my car are GTR offset on an R34 GTT and this is causing some annoying rubbing of the tyres on the inner guards.

Enough that I have rubbed all the way through the inner guard liners and frayed some wires and stuff, so it's reasonably advanced.

Anyway, can I machine some material from the INNER face of the wheel where it meets the hub????????

I don't want to repair the guards and liners and have the front end sprayed if it's just going to do it all again....

Thanks

No idea how thick the wheel centre is, but you could only take a couple of mm or so at best.

It woudn't be recommended as the wheel will lose alot of structual strength and could fail with a few potholes etc.

I would not suggest doing that.........either get different wheels or RAISE THE CAR.

You can cut your wheels in half, take out X width, re weld and get the new B width size. Yes its legal*, well in Queensland anyway. I had some done for a car up here. It’s a pretty common thing on sprint cars an so forth. I paid $450 for wheels to be done. Two rears made wider, and two fronts made smaller width wise.

*Note: Do this at you’re on risk. I’m going by what I have done and been told.*
