Shaving material from that part of the wheel to increase the + offset is something that has been done safely for years on many cars. Just can't take too much off.
It doesnt take an engineering degree to realize that any time you remove material from a structure, you weaken it to a degree.

How are you shaving these? a machine shop I assume? Cause that is the only correct way to do it. By the time you pay a machine shop to set up their machines and shave 3 mm you might as well have sold these and bought new ones..

If it were me, I personally wouldnt do it.
