I'm running on Good Year Eagle F1 205\50\16 tires and these are my 16" wheels.
What is the specs of your wheels (width & offset)?
Worst scenario would be to probably get a reputable machine shop to remove 5mm off the flange behond the wheels itself.

Actually in Thailand, it's not too expensive get get this done and it seems like the quickest solution.

Is this usually what people do and how safe is it if they are machined by pros?

If the machinist knows what he is doing, reducing the offset by just 5mm should be safe. Please understand that you are doing this at your own risk and no guarantees are being made by this post.

gasper44 is an unknown quantity at this point
What is the cheapest place to buy these exact springs online? Ebay is around $220-240 or so, who has the lowest price right now?
