that's false. my car looks fine without being lowered. the gap isn't that bad. you just have to not be super **** about small stuff like that... i have my vogtlands now, but i dont have the money to get them installed right now... oakleys for baseball and new kicks.

thanks guys! actually dont have any problems with rubbing. had it filled up with people at the back and no rubbing issues. actually one of the rim guys doing repairing of the wheels told me he can take a little offset at the rear. I just don't know how he will do it. 
is it doable???

not spacers....heres an example...let say you have a rim that is sticking outwards...you save a little on the back oif the wheel were the lug nuts are to make the offset higher. what do you think?

I would not do any physical thing to alter my wheels in any shape, way or form.

hey looks great autosleek
I wouldn't shave the hub either...the wheel/hub may lose integrity and crack
Even if you lowered your ride and increased negative camber you should be just fine. You may have to roll the rear fenders a little...

right now I have no problems with the rubbing issue....I think even if I lower the car would not be a problem. looks good to me. with the shaving thing on the hub...I myself think its not safe to do that
scary just thought of it co'z one of the rims guys here in socal said they already have done it a lot. 
for sure for them its all money. thats the reason why I am asking anybody out there if this is possible...because if it is ..then there will be solution for wheels sticking out...
