Default Milling a wheel

Hey guys I snagged a once in a lifetime deal on some 17x11 ZR1's, only down fall is they are a 36MM off set. This means the wheels stick out just a touch further than id like. I have probably 1.5 inchs clearence inside, so that isnt a problem. Heres my question, Can I take the wheel to a machine shop and have them "mill" the back of it to make it tuck a little bit more? Id like to mill 1/8 to a 1/4 inch off where it bolts up. Is it doable?

MY concern would be disturbing the cone seat for the lug . . . mill that down and you are SOL.
