Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5

Curious. Where would one take rotors to shave down the hub?
Think any shop that does brake work could do it or would it have to be a machine shop?

Machine shop, or do it yourself with a grinder. It's not rocket science.

True. But after spending that much money and having wheels that don't bolt on is frustrating.
And there are people that would just return them. I certainly considered it.
