need wheel experts help!

[nightphotographer]

I'm running about 10-15mm poke at the moment - not daily though. I haven't done any arch work (unless you include burning the paint!) if I was higher I'd have no issues what so ever - seriously I wouldn't worry about it at all

God that looks good from side on.
You could shave the backs down, but being Bbs it would have been built to minimum as is most likely.
Could just get them redrilled, mounted up with bolts and a second tyre or two and reevaluate

I'm going to a wheel specialist Saturday, so hopefully I can get it all worked out

They all claim to be able to do the job. You might want to google people that have used them.

My old BBS had enough to take 8mm off the back.

A quick & dirty way of seeing what might be possible is to take the OEM wheel bolts & put one into a loose OEM alloy. Measure how much thread is visible at the back. Repeat with the aftermarket wheel. A-B= maximum machining amount. This would be before seeking a professional opinion.

Run them as is, streched tyres if need be, you wont get any grief from police

Or we could provide actual legally complaint advice so users don't get confused about the legality of their modifications and then get in trouble with the police for doing something someone on a forum said was okay when it wasn't.
So OP, don't listen to what Dtravz says.

Just a question as Im unsure of the rules here. Is it legal to modify in any way a Mag wheel.

The reason I ask is because in NZ when running mags I had someone buckle one of mine just lightly on outer edge.

It was able to be cold rolled and was OK but was told that in no way could it be ground, drilled or welded.

Seems from this thread that it is common to do it here.
