SP20 wheels help. Work Emotion Cr Kai

Well picked up my new wheels today for a steal. 650... considering others go for around 1.2 im extremely happy with the price i paid, only thing now is the fitment.

There a 17x7 with a +42 offset. At the moment they have 215/45/17 and i put them on to test fit and they sit really close to fenders and rub like a lil bitc. So this brings my first question. machining the rear wheel hubs to change the offset? just doing say 4mm of to bring it to a +46? or could i go more to a +48? Im also junking the tires that are on there because they're in terrible condition and going with 205/40/17 but i don't think that will make much difference. other thing is to roll the fenders, but that's my last resort.

So basically what do you all know about machining these wheels?

Otherwise i love these wheels!

I had a set of similarly speced wheels at one stage. From past experience the new tires you are planning on putting on and rolling the fenders should get you there.

Dude why not roll your fenders? Way easier/less expensive than machining the hubs. A roll with 205/40's and you shouldn't have any problems.

Update: Well i just went with 205/40/17 and had absolutely no problems at all, didnt even need to roll fenders. Even with 300kgs of concrete in the back So, quiet amazing the difference the right tires make.
