But if you can, have them machine the mounting pad about 3-4mm and that will bring you around +43 to +44 offset and you're good to go.

I spoke with a local shop and they said that it will take minor fender rolling/trimming to make these wheels fit.

front is perfect but rears is real close to fender so i had them drilled out
milled to +43 and inserts installed perfect no rubbing no problems with alignment cost about $100 to have wheels done the right way way cheaper than ordering custom wheels .

Wheel/suspension experts- urgent help needed!
So, I just had my new wheels/tires mounted (sedan), and the rear rubs very severely. 19x9.5" w/ 38mm offset on a 275/30/19 tire dropped on Tein S.Tech.
Obviously, the fenders are getting rolled, which should help, but I need advice on effectively changing the offset of the wheel.
In this thread, it was mentioned that it is possible to have the mounting bracket, or inside of a wheel machined a few millimeters. I need to know if this is safe or not. Basically, I want 6-7mm machined off of the inside of the wheel so that it basically has a 44-45mm offset.
Is this safe? Will it affect the structural integrity of the wheels? I found a competenet fabrication shop that will be doing this for me tomorrow.

I agree w/ Sen_Jen...going w/ 265 probably would solve your prob the way it is now (w/ the rolled fenders)
Besides, I just LOOOOVE the stretched side-wall look...=)
However, to answer your question about shaving mounting pad...it is actually safe if you have an experienced machine shop do it for you. And, up to about 5mm shouldn't affect your wheels structual integrity too much...then again, it really depends on how the wheel was constructed on the back.
What I mean is, for example - a typical 20" chrome wheel has a tremendously thick mounting pad...you can shave like half-inch off that and have no worries. However, a light-weight racing wheel might have a very thin mounting pad to begin with, so shaving a little might cause it to be too weak to be safe.
Well, when these tires wear out...you know what to get next, right?
Hurry up & post some pix already, Vodka...show us, show us!!!
