I'm looking for 17x9" track wheels for a lonestar. I have 3.75" from the hub face to the inside of the fender lip on the front of the car. If the wheel is
10" wide, I think I need +/- 6.25" backspace to clear easily. (10-6.25=3.75") Ford makes wheels in 5.98 and 6.12" backspace. 6.12 is close, but not quite. I think they would work well anyway w/ no rubbing.

My question is can a wheels backspace be machined to increase it ever so slighty by about an eight to a quarter inch? This would let me choose from a 5.98" backspace as well.
