Can you "machine" alloy wheels from the offset you can buy them in? IIRC someone said its possible but ive no idea where to get it done, also i know obviously you can only do it one way!

So i have seen a wheel that is ET35, i need the closest to ET49 as possible, is it possible to machine them>>

i think you can only do a couple of mm any more and the wheel is unsafe.

isn't it a postive offset, ?

wouldn't it need bits added i.e: spacers, or have i got it all back to front?

other way around
ET49 to ET35 you would need a 14mm spacer
beacause when i have 17's i went from ET49 to Et30 with a 19mm Spacer

no mate, the lower the number the further out it will be

i.e: et35 will stick 14mm futher out than et49

EDIT - beardy beat me to it
