This mod works great on a Trigo set-up...look in my gallery and you can see what I'm talking about regarding the machining part. You gain an easy 1/2" this way and there should be enough meat on the inner hub of the wheel where the 1/4" less circumference won't matter and you won't be messing with the structural integrity of the rim. Measure twice and cut once. And of course, make sure you have 1/2" of clearance on the inside (wheel well, shocks, etc.). The SPFs have tons of room on the inside.

No spacer ring on those.. But i did talk to vintage and they said I can safely have the wheel machined down a 1/4". I would need their shorter pins but that will increase the backspacing a bit.
