Typical shaving is usually done to 4/32nds of an inch. Lower than that would actually be a detriment to performance as the remaining tread would overhead quickly. As for the fuel, it depends. Unleaded, high-octane fuel can certainly be street legal. I doubt leaded fuel would be used in a stock production engine.
