Open up centre bore

Hi y'all,
Just a quick question. I've been offered a set of 4 15x7 F100 rims with for a very cheap price, but I believe they're a little different to standards, because the center bore is smaller than that of my Suzi rims. Is it possible (legal?) to get this bore opened up? If so, where's a good place to get it done.
I'm scoring the rims with 90% 235s (wranglers) for only $250, so don't mind spending a few $$'s to have them modded to fit the Zook.
Alternative B: Swap the rims at the wreckers for rims with the right bore, and pay to have the tyres refitted, rather than paying to have them rebored.
Thanks in advance.

f100 rims should bolt strait onto a spook.have you tried?

should do, and yes I have tried, and don't fit, but I have a feeling these ones came from a 2x4 F100 (prob why he's struggling to sell 'em!) and hence have the smaller diameter centre bore.
Normally I wouldn't bother, but I'm always out to save a buck (aren't we all?)

weird.imnot sure but cutting this out would weaken the rim for sure.

That's what I'm worried about... I can't see it being legal either. And considering the rims are worth f#@* all, maybe I should just look at the purchase as more a cheap set of tyres, than trying to score the rims too.
Although interestingly enough they would fit my boat trailer... But Sunraysia's would look kinda silly sitting under a 350 Chev ski boat - not to mention the extra height would make life trickier to launch it!

the rims on my coiler are 15 X 7 old jeep or diatsu rims, i had the centers milled to fit over the hub. the only problem is that we milled a bee's dick too much and the suzi cups for the back don't fit. apart from no problems, being legal......who would know/ who could tell.
do it, its a bargin!
