Default 13 spoke wheel too wide

Hi all,

have any any of you machined 5/32 off of one side of a mag wheel in order to make the wheel cantered and have the brake rotor line up with the calliper?

Obviously I would only machine the surface that the brake rotor bolts to.

The bike is a 1996 Sportster and the wheel is from the next generation. The wheel is equipped with a sealed bearing but still has a 3/4 inch axel.

I have the axel and spacers from both wheels.

Thanks in advance,
craig
