    Default hoiw does it cost roughly to get a wheel machined down

    hey guys i was just wonder if anyone could give me a rough price on how much it would cost to change the et of my wheel i think there 45 atm maybe more as the offside rear rubs alittle and i dont want it to where the other side has 1 inch gap from arch to wheel also the the fronts stick out a little thanks

    Not a clue, but I strongly advise you not to do it, shaving precious metal off one of the most loaded parts of the car isn't exactly a good idea, you may 'get away with it' but personally I'd rather just get some wheels with the correct ET.

    remount the beam and sort out the spacing.

    and if it rubs then get spacers. wheel machining is a difficult game if the wheel isnt setup right

    its well annoying ive knocked out the arch n it still rubs on some bumpers but only when i have 2 people in the car 1 is me :P i might just live with it if i cant sort it out but its so annoying the nearside rear is fine the frontside offside is fine the offside rear is close and the frontside nearside is out by a cm grrr think i have a buckled chassis.
