    hub sizes for alloys

    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 , the bore be concentric to the wheel rim ,probably cost about £5 a wheel.If you were nearer,I would do them for you
    Not a very good idea to use a Dremmel,file or grinder,as you will lose the location and concentricity
