Custom the wheel offset~
Hi crew........I got my rear wheels 20x10.5 +38 and I don't think they'll fit and I'll need to shave off couple mm. What's the max I can shave off???

10.5?? Can't wait to see them. You're comin' to the June 14th meet right?? Can you afford to shave that much more off your fenders? I think you might wanna consider rolling the fenders even though I know you're against it...might not even have a choice if you want the wheels on there.

what I think he means is that he plans on milling the back of the wheel (hub mating surface) to get a higher offset. I had a friend with a Supra TT that did that with a set of GT-C's (rubbing in the rear a little...but didn't wanna roll the fenders)...he took it to a machine shop and had them milled down a couple of millimeters.

Typically, you can shave 3mm off of the backpad of the wheel if it has already had its' PCD (bolt pattern) drilled. A wheel or machine shop well-versed in this sort of thing can accomplish this by milling the backpad, provided they have the appropriate fixture to hold the wheel.
There's a shop here in Los Angeles called Russell Machine who is very good at this sort of thing (310) 532-5520.
If you remove any more than 3mm, you begin to compromise the integrity of the lug seat area of the wheel.
Bottom line: 3mm, okay.... more than 3mm, no way...
Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like it'll be enough to make them work for you...
