BigOxley Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I got a deal on some steelies for a winter tire/wheel set. doesn't look like the hub bore is big enough. I need a place that could machine them out a couple of millimeters. I need tires mounted too, so a one stop shop would be preferred but not necessary. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE-O Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hope there is enough room so you dont thin the walls where the lug holes are . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hope there is enough room so you dont thin the walls where the lug holes are . Lug holes are fine. It's just the center bore that needs opened up a bit. Maybe 2mm at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 talked to wheel medic. they said it would be cheaper to buy new ones than have them machined out. going up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but when your bore the hub out it is thinning the metal around the wheel stud holes. I looked into this to put mustang rims on my jeep but the walls for the lugs would be very thin and it was also cheaper to buy new wheels all together.
