It seemed like a yes to me, but then I realized that if I machined my front wheels there wouldn't be much material between the lugnut seat and the back face of the hub. I think that is the limiting factor. The manufacturer machines the blanks to a specific offset and drills the lug holes so that there is a specific thickness of material between the lugnut and the wheel hub. There might be plenty of wheel stock left to machine, but if you remove the material that the lugnut pushes against, you could seriously weaken the wheel. I decided against it on my car.
