Are these group A fitment? / require different bolts or nuts? Also do you think there is enough meat on the back to skim off say 2mm and make them ET30? (I think my head is working right and not making them ET26?)

I am a bit nervous as I have 8x16 et 25 and they poke out a bit too much on the car but my 7x16 et 25 look fine but a little too skinny for the power it will eventually make so would like a bit more foot print, I need to sell the et25 ones and worried I will end up with another set of wheels I do not have a use for an may devalue them if machined...plus the cost of couriers and having the work done.

I have left a message for Mark Walker to see if he can machine them, at least I could ship direct to him.
