Thx for the comments everyone, but unfortunately it don't fit the hub. The opening on the back of the wheels is not wide enough to fit. I am going to Home Depot and get a bit to grind it out. If it's too hard I'll have to wait til tomorrow and bring it to a mechanic and bore it out. So close yet so far.

Be very careful on how you're grinding the wheel. If it's not hubcentric fit and you grind the hole too wide, it'll shake at freeway speeds. The wheels need to fit tightly around the hub that's why some shops will sell hubcentric rings.

Do not attempt this. You will ruin the wheels. There is NO WAY you will make a perfect circle. Have a machine shop do it or better yet send the wheels back to have the manufacturer do it.
