I wouldn't shave more than 1-5mm, because you're ruining the structural integrity of the wheel.

As with most things, there is a right way to do things, and a wrong way to do things. If you make one mistake that causes a problem, fix the mistake, don't just make a second mistake to work around it.

If your wheels stick out too much, they don't fit. The right way to deal with it is to get wheels that are manufactured with the proper offset for your car. Don't make a second mistake by shaving your wheels and reducing their structural integrity.
