Machining a wheel to change the offset??? Is it possible???

Long story short, I need some FR500's with an 05+ stang 30mm offset, but they arent available in silver, so I am thinking about having 6mm-7mm milled off the mounting pad of my 24mm offset FR's to achieve this... Has anyone ever had this done, & is it safe... I could just get 2 new front wheels in black & have them paint matched to my DD silver rears, but this will cost well over $500 when all said & done, plus they might not be a perfect match & then I will have to get the rears painted too....

Anyone have any info or experience???

Thanks...

I don't have any experience but I would think it is possible. Will you still have enough clearence for the caliper though? Is it so you can get your fronts inside the fenders with the mm k-member? Also it is like 30 bucks a wheel for powdercoating, which will stand up to wear a lot better then paint.

You know what, I never thought about caliper clearance. Yup, the MM k member made the wheels stick out of the fenders, so I installed 95 spindles to bring the wheels in. But, this made the car have tremendous amounts of bumpsteer from the geometry being off, & after a year of dealing with it, I am getting tired of it. I am gonna put the 03 spindles back on...

I dont think FR's are powdercoated from the factory, & the finish is holding up pretty well...
