Default Set of wheels, rears are different offset?????

I have a set of I-forged wheels, and apparantly one of the rears has a different offset. I bought these wheels used, and they were a good price for an almost new set. I guess the guy knew they were messed up at the factory and decided to off them on me. They both fit in the wheelwell, but one of them sticks out almost a half inch more than the other!

What are my options ? Can I have one of the wheels machined down to be the same offset as the other side?

That is one of the tough parts of buying used wheels, you never know. The guy may have damaged a wheel, and purchased one used and got the wrong offset, etc.

The wheel pad is integral to the strength of the wheel so be very careful having that modified. Since they both fit under the wheelwell maybe add a spacer to the other side to push them out evenly.

Good luck

well, if the lip size and stuff are good, maybe you can just talk to iforged about getting a new center to fix the offset
