I need to have the middle section of my rear wheels milled down about 1/2" I am running 11" wide wheels on my third gen with a 4th gen rear and the tires stick out past the quarter panels a little too much for me. The only way to fix this is to take some material off the inside of the wheel where it bolts to the brake rotor. There is plenty of material there where removing only 1/2" wont weaken the wheel. I just need this type of work done on a professional machine. Something like the machine used to mill a head or something but it has to be small enough to get inside the back of the wheel. My only other option is to shorten the rear an inch but that wouldnt be worth it to me. if thats the case, I will just buy new wheels and I dont want to do that since my wheels are very rare.

Try a local machine shop.

tried that, all their machine are too big to do the job. One shop said he MIGHT be able to do it but hes not promising anything. I think the problem comes down to liability issues.

ya, I have thought about it. I guess all I would need is new axles. I wil have to lok into that route and see what is involved in that work. Imsure it isnt hard but it has to be right
