i just picked up a set of 33x9.50R15 tires on a set of old chevy steel rally rims kind of like the rims 302yota has and I wanted to know the easiest way to make the center bore bigger of make the wheel fit with out having to buy new rims any suggestions?

Any Machine shop can do it...

a die grinder will work wonders.

the problem with a machine shop is i do not want to have to dismount the freshly balanced tires
and with the die grinder i thought that would take too long

TOYOTA 1

well its not gonna be fast lol, but shouldn't take forever

maybe few hours to do all 4..

you could use a torch, or a plasma cutter. but i don't know if the heat will mess up the strength of the wheel?

Haven't done it in a while and then it was an aluminum rim, but a cup saw works great. You need to bolt a piece of wood to the back side of the rim using the bolt holes so the pilot bit has a way of starting and staying centered. It takes a couple minutes per rim and no need to remove the tire.

die grinder with about 6 rotory files. try to find something where you can turn the wheel while you hold the d/g still. that way you'll have a consistant finish

If you can find a machine shop with a decent size mill they can bore the center without taking the tire off the rim.
But I cant see it taking to long with a die grinder if you had to do it that way.

Use an engine cylinder honing tool or ridge-reamer?
(actually, that should keep the hole round too)
