Those offsets would be better suited on a C4S/TT.
I guess offset is a personal thing when you deviate from the rec'd factory range but when you have suspension compression and you hear the fender cut the tire then you understand you have the wrong size.

Do NOT shave the wheel. Personally, taking away the very thing that holds the structural integrity of the wheel is a chance that is not worth it IMHO. Getting it shaved PERFECTLY requires some serious equipment to make sure that you wheel rotates in balance. Not even worth the chance IMHO.
Sure, some race teams might do it, etc, etc, etc, but that is to decrease weight and it is NOT done at the hub and they also don't keep those rims on the car for the long haul.
If anything, I would roll the fenders before I shaved the rim.

I really HATE it when this happens, but I also agree with Dell that you should NOT "shave" the wheels. 
Besides, every guy knows that "shaving" should be limited to Pussies... not wheels!
