    The lugz will be long enough! if anything too long as he's shaving the hub . . . i would imagine shaving so much so that the bolt will still have full thread inside it'll be fine jus dnt shave any more! ++ How are you going to shave it anyways?? it'll have to be perfection . . .

    the problem isnt the bolts its that the wheels stick out past the guards... ah just thought id check before i give the wheels away... cuz they're such nice wheels hehe... after thinking about it its probably much easier/safer to just go get different wheels

    You _can_ machine wheels (I've had it done on previous cars)

    Or should I say, you can get a professional to get the wheels machined.

    Any good wheel and tyre specialist should be able to get it done safely (and legally) - cause you do want to stay insured.

    Cost isn't generally too bad.
