Rims.

Thu 11 Jul 2013 09:15:34 AM
Hi I've just purchased some Steelies and the centre bore is to small. If I machine the centre bore bigger will it weaken the wheels in any way?

Thanks

What about fitting a 5mm spacer to get around that problem?

They are just stock steel rims. I would only have to machine out 2-3mm max, it's just enough to be a pain in the but.
