I’m looking to have 3mm Shaved on my Rears so I can run a wider tire. Anyone know of any shops that can do that locally? ---

I had B&R mill out the centerbore on some wheels and they turned out perfect. ---

you guys are worried about 3-4 mm??? I dont think you’d really notice a difference. thats about 5/32 of an inch. I dont think it be worth the effort. ---

I’m not worried about it for bigger tires, but rather Fender clearance. The stock Goat Wheels are 48mm offset, the ASA’s are 40mm. with stock size tires I was catching the fender lip on the one side by a mm or two. Since has been fixed with stiffer drag springs in the rear, but I want to get 3/8th drop springs for the front, and its going to be VERY close, 2-3mm would be a life saver. ---

just roll the inner fender lip. 3-4mm isnt much and shouldnt be much to roll the lip to clear. if your barely touching with 40mm offset wheels, then just tap the fender lip in. You’ll be fine and i’m surprised your suspension is allowing the tire to come that close to the lip. I have had my tires sticking out for along time now and never had it come close to the lip ---

I have had my tires sticking out for along time now and never had it come close to the lip Tell me how I roll factory rolled front fender lips and we will talk. My tires are going to hit if I drop the front, and its not going to be on a lip, its going to be on the edge of the fender. So unless I adjust the camber, those 3mm would be a lifesaver. And like I said, I took care of the rears with drag springs, but I want to drop the front so… ---

didnt realize you have a rolled fender already. what size tire do you run? becareful when you have to get new ones cuz some brands are wider than others so those 3mm may be eaten up later ---

The front fender lips are rolled over from the factory, nothing more that can be done, Rear’s are not but I am not concerned with the rears as they are taken care of with the drag springs. 245/45/17 on a 40mm offset wheel, Stock are 48mm offset, same tire size, so I gained 8mm of clearance to the strut, so front rubbing may be able to be taken care of with an alignment, well see. ---
