Wheel Question...on my 17x10's

I have the Smoothie II's in 17x10 all the way around...is there a way to make the front wheels go in just a little bit more without having to buy 17x9's?
i just don't want to run into any problems when i go to lower my camaro.
Thanks

You can't increase the backspace on a wheel, except possibly by machining the face of the flange that mounts to the hub. That would involve the risk of thinning the flange to the point where the lugs might pull right through it, or the flange might crack..... not recommended.

But then you didn't even tell us what kind of car, or year you have, so its kind of hard to compare your situation to his.
