Default help! grinding down wheel offsets!

Hey guys,

I picked up Vossen Cv1s for a really good deal. The wheels are:

Front: 20x9 +20offset
Rear: 20x10.5. +25 offset

Ideally I wish the offsets were 38/45. I want to make them work on my IS350 without stretching the tires alot. I'm looking for a flush look. There is a shop that has a good reputation where I'm from (Vancouver, Canada) and since vossens are 1 piece wheels they cannot take them apart and grind the offsets down to much. He said he can grind 8 mm. So my offsets would be 28/33. Has anybody ever grinded down offsets? And would 28/33 be okay for my ride?

Thanks in advance

If you don't wanna stretch or do fender mods I suggest you save up and get the rite offset. When I talk to a reputable shop in Cali they said 5mm the most nothing more.

you dont want to grind down more than 5mm as then the wheels will be come weak by the lug nuts. i would grind them 5mm and then roll and pull your fenders and you should be good.

Do you have any idea what tire size I'd be able to run with 5mm more + pulled and rolled fenders? And what kind of cost am I looking at for rolling+pulling fenders?
