cost to shave hubs

Shamim · 10-27-2010, 02:51 AM

So i just purchased wheels and the offset is to aggressive so i need to shave the hubs. Anyone know how much this usually cost?

First you should make sure that there is enough of a pad on the backside of the wheel that can be safely shaved. Give us a call and we can further help you out with this.

What wheel is it?

Most can be taken in 1-3mm safely..

advan rs-d. Are you able to do it? Hurd you can do some crazy things as well. Would a 19x10 offset +23 with 265-30-19 hankook v12 or 255-35-19 pirelli tires work? I have no fenders basically, even the glue is gone from behind. It is pure fender and nothing else.

I've seen 3mm taken off some advan RS's safely. I think that is the max

Thats a relief, got scared it would ruin the wheel.

3mm is typically the max, but it is not always always the case, as depends on the wheel manufacturer. They do not always have any available back pad to shave.

We use a reputable machine shop that can get done for us in a 2 - 3 day turn around time.

I would recommend giving the wheel manufacturer a call before doing any kind of machining of the hub. Depending on the wheel, it may jeopardize the integrity.

Glad you went with an alternative route then machining the hubs. Good luck on finding a new set of wheels!
