How do I bore out the center of a wheel?
 

I have a set of wheels that I want to put on my teg, but the center hole is too small. How do I bore it out :8 style?

you probally need a lathe to do it right but are there center caps that would cover up the use of a dremel?

holesaw and light oil, a half round bastard, or a deburring bit for a die grinder (MUST keep oiled very well in order to prevent loading up)

only do this if you can get the tire balanced on the bolts (not the center hole)

vw wheels? :8

hole saw on 2 inches of alumnium? Seriously now? The best way to do it would be to take it to a machine shop and have them use a flycutter on it.

would this work on a drill press? googling says its a dangerous tool... This tool must be really bad since all tools can be dangerous.

i wouldn't buy one, just call a machine shop and see how much they'd charge. It will probably be cheaper than 78 dollars.

i've read on the net it cost about 10-20 per wheel..

Now with this tool I might be able to bore out a throttle body also. If it even works

you don't have to bore them, you can clear them with some 3mm wheel spacers, I am using a set of toyota celica 15" rims for my winter tires, and at first I was going to bore them but when I started the measuring I figure out the center part of the hub sticks out 3mm so I ordered 4 3mm spacers, and fit the rims perfectly.

I'd rather fix the wheels then use spacers

flycutters have to be used in a mill or lathe, they only cut on that one blade that sticks out and everything has to be very solidly mounted.

Die grinder :D I would take them to a machine shop for the less then $100 it will be if you go to the back door with beer and cash ;)

Re: How do I bore out the center of a wheel?
 

Mount the rim on a mill. Dial indicate the center. Chuck up the flycutter, and make the cut.

No you wouldn't want to do that because you can't accurately find the center of the rim on a drill press. You need a mill so you can move the table.

I've bored out the center of some wheels, using a router w/ the right bit and a light touch

Dremel/Die grinder if you want to do it ghetto, otherwise there are lots of places that specialize in this sort of thing. Normally pretty cheap.
