  • new to wheels,bad start. 1 question

    ok, so i bought these real nice toyota snowflake rims that are 4x114.3 bolt pattern. my ride is a 95 mitsubishi expo with the 4x114.3 bolt pattern. so i buy these wheels and get them cleaned, painted and the lips polished and im all happy to put these nice wheels on my ride and the wheel didnt fit correctly. the center of the wheel is too small to fit my hubs so the rims dont fit flat on the hub. my question is, what can i do to make this work? the reason i ask is, ive seen wagons like mines on the net sporting toyota wheels that are simillar to mines and some being the same. so if they could do it i figured why cant i. i have plans of stancing this wagon and the wheels will complement the stance. dont want to write a book but felt this was necesary to get the right answer. thanks guys for ur imputs on this matter.

    Go have the hub bore enlarged. Pretty common procedure

        Ive done it myself before, just have to go little by little and make sure its even around the hub. Or most machine shops could do it for you.

          Machine shop. Find out the size of your hub, and have the center bore drilled out to fit.
