That sounds like a wheel for a G35 or 305z it will rub on a GS (of course you can mod the fenders, run neg camber or change the tires, etc.) For non-staggered wheels I probably wouldn't go through the process

Not a good idea, especially considering the amount of space you need to shave will severly disrupt the structural rigidity of the wheel
