Oh right good idea mate although i have heard it weakens the wheel.

How much is it costing you and are you getting all 4 wheels done as it look like only the rears are rubbing.

well its costing me 12 quid a wheel but gettin 2mm all round cos front wills till rub and want wheels to match, it can weaken the wheel so get the place to check to see how much space u've got between the wheel and suspension strut and then how much they can take off with out weakin wheel too much
