Hey y'all, I hope someone may help me with the situation.

I recently bought some ADR Mach 8 rims for my 97 SH which is lowered. The person that I bought them from took them off his 99 Base Lude, also lowered. After I put the rims on I realized that the rear wheels were touching when making sharp corners and when exessive load hits the back.

The wheel specs are as follows;
17x7 40mm

I have 17/205/40ZR tires on.

Has anyone ever taken their rims to a machine shop to modify the rims because of the wrong offset?

I was just curious to see if a machinist can take off a few fraction of an inch to make them fit my Lude.

If that cannot work I may just have to try and sell or swap them.

 

This is something I had thought of incase the time came. It would be much better for you to bring the rotors to the shop and have them take 2mm off the hat than to machine the rim itself. Also, it's cheaper to replace a rotor over a rim

 

it's also less stressful to just have your rear fenders rolled, this will increase the rear fender clearence by another .5 cm

 

It might actually be just rubbing the rear bumper tab.

 

Would I be able to roll the fenders myself or would I have to take it to a shop?

 

techincally u could do it with a baseball bat or any other round object and roll it around the wheel until the inside is flush with the fender. personally though i would take it to a shop, it shouldnt cost very much to have them do it and then u dont have to worry about it.

 

Ask on VAdriven.com to see if anyone in NoVA have a fender roller for rental/loaner

 

Will check on the fender roller.

 

Phone books FTW. So much more gentle vs a baseball bat
