I'd take them back and get the right wheels.
I guess you could take them to a machine shop and have the holes opened up but that would be my last choice.

Dang I feel bad for you.
Dismount tires and sell wheels at a discount on craigslist or ebay? Buy the right ones and never look back.
I know easier said than done.

Ahh, the wheel bore issue. Bit me too but purchase locally so no big deal.
Just thought I would let you know you are not the only one to make the mistake.
How far are they? If you talking very little I might consider it.
But if your going to pay 100.00 to get them done you could probably sell them for 100 off retail and you would be in he same place.
Sorry to hear it.

This is certainly my mistake...but I have scheduled to have them opened to 108MM by a local machine shop so they will fit...the additional cost is irrelevant at this point because these are the rims I want and selling them at a loss only to have to purchase rims I really don't want is my last resort.
Thanks for the replies.

I did this too....a buddy gave me a set of Ford wheels (same 5x5.5) and the center holes were too small to fit over the hub assembly.
