Thoughts on turning down rims to change offset?

Yes or No? I have not done this however I have thought about it, just talking maybe 3mm to pull the front wheels in a touch? Whats everyone's thoughts on this?

It will depend on the wheel. If you machine too much metal off, the lug seat will be too shallow so it will require a fill and drill. Your best bet is to contact someone like Wheelflip to see if it's safe on your set of wheels, and how much they think you can change the offset.
