ive got some alloys and the bores are too small to fit over the 60.1mm hubs on my clio, they are 56mm bore instead.

can anyone suggest a tool to enlarge the bores? I have done one with a dremel but took ages, can you get some kind of 60mm boring tool or like a 60mm drill bit thing?

Take them to a small engineering machine shop,they will clock the existing bore true,and then open them up to 60mm.
It is important that :roll: :roll: , the bore be concentric to the wheel rim ,probably cost about £5 a wheel.If you were nearer,I would do them for you :wink:
Not a very good idea to use a Dremmel,file or grinder,as you will lose the location and concentricity :shock: :shock:
