Default OK - so I f'd up... - F'd UP NO MORE!!

Gents, so I bought a beautiful set of Regamaster Evo's in Bright II - my grail wheels. But after test fitting them I came to realize that the offset is just too low. Being 17x8 +38 in front and 17x9.5 +45 in the rear, they stick out approx 1/2" past the fenders - and thats w/o any tires mounted. I can't return them, so it looks like I need to have the fenders rolled & pulled. That stated, can anyone recommend a person or a well-regarded shop in the NY metro area that does this kind of work?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hmmm.... interesting. Is that a standard practice, or will shaving off a 1/2" weaken the wheel? What kind of shop would have the equipment to do that?

Looks like S~Factor doesnt do that kind of work anymore. He said he's just selling splitters now. Anyone else in the area that does this kind of work?
