    If it's only that little I reckon you could:
    a) get the backs shaved down at the same time as the drill and fill
    b) pull your guards to cover that 2-3mm
    c) run stretched tyres so you don't rub against the guards.
    d) hope you don't get pulled by VIC Police.
    e) all of the above.

    p.s. they do look absolutely amaze balls and will definitely be worth the effort you're putting in to them! I would've held on to them if I could've widened them out but imagine sticking another 25mm of poke on top of what you've got now - that's what I'd be dealing with haha!

    A wheel specialist should be able to machine the inner face of the wheel hub if there is sufficient metal to work with. It will depend how deep they have drilled the clearance holes for the wheel bolts.

    I know a couple of places in Sydney that can do it. Vic should have a few too. Even a machine shop could do it but they might not know how much metal you need to stop the bolts from pulling through.

    Angles on the photos don't really tell how bad it is

    I'm running about 10-15mm poke at the moment - not daily though. I haven't done any arch work (unless you include burning the paint!) if I was higher I'd have no issues what so ever - seriously I wouldn't worry about it at all

    God that looks good from side on.
    You could shave the backs down, but being Bbs it would have been built to minimum as is most likely.
    Could just get them redrilled, mounted up with bolts and a second tyre or two and reevaluate
