changing wheel offset
changing wheel offset
well, have some wheels that stick out on the front maybe 1/4" or so, so about 6 mm. Now, the backs fit PERFECT, sit about flush with the fender, or maybe in a little bit, and the fronts are pretty close, but it just looks awkward.
Now I have a local machine shop that has widened and narrowed wheels for me, but they always do it from the back. I have yet to call them to see if they could narrow it a little from the front.
Otherwise, I have heard of milling down the wheel hub (where it bolts on) a little bit, these wheels have HUGE hubs on them so machinining them down should not be a big deal and still keeping the wheel integrity.
Anybody have any experience with anything like this? My other option, (i have seen it on some highly custom mustangs used for drift), is to find a way to shorten the front suspension a little bit to bring everything in a little further.

Get a set of aftermarket upper A-arms, then get it re-aligned. If the alignment shop set the camber to your previous settings your front track will narrow at least 1/4" per side, or probably more.
