Great answer. Didn't think of reason two.

So you want to take metal away from the structure of the single most critical piece of your car keeping you from loosing a wheel and crashing? Sounds like a great idea...

:tiphat: Do it and let us know how it works out.:wtf2:

I don't mean to sound like a complete áss, but it's funny how we all become engineers at these times.

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.

Let's SAY, I lower the car on swifts... Can I run the damn 275's? :)

It's fine but I think you can't do more than a few mm

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.

Considering they don't make CE28N's in 19" anymore... That's an impossibility. I'm looking at other Volks, I just don't understand why everyone dies for and thinks +22 and +12 is the best fitment. The best fitment for me is the one where you can get more tire under the wheel well.

that's because most of the vendors are selling the 350Z wheel offsets for the 370Z which are different. ive been saying this from the beginning... :ugh:

LOOOOOOL, you know the wheels are machined at the factory right? There are tolerances, and Rays/Volk likes making a "face" then add/take size from the hub area, so there has to be an amount that is 100% ok to take off. If Rays said the grade of their aluminum used I'd ask one of the engineers at work to work it out and tell me what is safe/acceptable

Machine shop, obviously. Cost? LOL, free, got myself a machine shop at work.
And considering CE28Ns in 19" are discontinued, it's kind of a bitch to find another set. Otherwise I would another set in a heartbeat

:tiphat:

I'm gonna order wheels in sacrilege 10"+35 and 11"+35

I think that's about the best fitment if I want stagger, lol. Or do 10.5 in the rear, which leaves me a bit of stagger to fit a tad bigger tires
