hub bore question

*Mr.Duck* · 06-20-2007, 02:41 AM

So i bought a set of rims that one fit on the maxima unfortunately, the hub bore is too small on the rims. i believe it came off of a is300 which hub bore is around 60.1mm and ours is 66.2mm

my question is, are there any options to be able to use the rims? or am i pretty much screwed?

that is a tough one. i am far away from being an expert in this but i cant imagine a solution. usually u can get hubcenteric rings if the bore of the rim is bigger than the bore on the car to fill the gap but in this case, you need to do the opposite. i doubt shaving the inside of the rim is a good idea. lets see what the experts recommend.

Wheel hub adapter maybe? Although i don't think one is made for our cars.

Titan wheels can be made to fit the older Hardbody trucks by simply having a machine shop bore the center hole out to match the hub. They are on Ebay everyday.

I don't see why you could not do this to the Lexus wheels. Problem is cost. Custom machining is not exactly cheap. Maybe by doing all four, the cost per wheel could be justified, especially if you got a good deal to begin with. Set-up cost would be high on the first one, but would average out with four.

You can bore these out to 66.1. A 3rd genner did it and it looks sweet. 66.2 is usually the diameter given for centering rings or spacers (so they fit).

so boring it out is really my only option right? spacers wont do anything for it?

ugh.. anyone know a machinist in chicago? lol
