Would wheel spacers be a cheaper option then having to machine the hub?

It hardly costs a fortune. Do it properly.

Are you serious? It's 50 bucks a wheel at most tyre shops you cheap skate.

would be more expensive to have hubcentric spacers machined up than to have the wheels machined.

that is unless you want to use non hubcentric wheel spacers, in which case dont.

My mate got his done for $25 a wheel, took all of a few songs on the ipod while he waited...
I would love to see how cheap your car would look if you went about modding it with this attitude...

This is the first dodgy thing that I have thought of yet, the ve wheels that I have on now are machined.

But anyway, I guess it'd be cheaper but you get what you pay for
