There is no exact answer to this because there are too many different ways the wheels can be made. You would have to assess any given wheel yourself and decide what to do. In my case I just put it on a lathe and open it up but I have seen others where people have just taken a die grinder to the inside diameter. Also you have to make sure you know the difference between Hub Centric and Lugnut Centric wheels and start with the correct ones. In a Hub Centric wheel the hub bore is critically important and those wheels can't be used in Lugnut Centric applications.Hi Springer,
New here. My 16yo son just bought a 77 M885 and we're dealing with wheels. We're about to (hopefully) open up the center of some 16" wheels and I wanted to ask for tips. Do they just get machined away, or do they somehow keep the rolled edge? Thanks much.
