Milling Wheel Hub? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Has anyone ever milled down the backspace of a wheel hub to technically raise the offset? I know this seems kind of ass backwards wanting to raise the offset but it's in order to fit a certain set of wheels that would otherwise not fit.

I would like to go from a 19x10 +25 to a +35. So is it possible to shave a few mm's off the back of the hub to do this and still have it not completely fail and rip in half on me while driving? Yeah I know taking away a lot of structure, etc. but given that we put slip on spacers and take away threads to put on lug nuts I figured this would kind of sort of follow the same idea.

Note, this is not for an s-chassis for these wheels to go on to. I just know I will have better luck here on figuring this out about wheels than anywhere else.
