Adjusting wheel offset

If i was to buy a set of wheels with a 15 offset, how would i make them a 35/37 offset? Spacers or have the wheel skimmed?

Thanks

not worth the hassle to be honest as you'll need spacers that are 20mm or have 20mm machined from the wheel face

both are silly ideas

you would need 20mm machined off to raise the offset. I doubt there's even that much there anyway, and even if there was i certainly wouldn't want to drive it afterwards!

i wouldn't go beyond mid 20s on offset, catching arch and wearing out bearings if you do.
