A coworker may have a lead on someone who can machine the center bore for me, going to look into that, but still keep an eye out for another rim, just in case.

On a SRW, you can 'bore' the wheel center hole carefully with a 5" grinding disc. Wouldn't try that with a Ford/GM dually though, because the hub pilot centering is critical.

4.56" to 4.78" is a lot to hone. I don't feel it would be suitably precise either.

I ended up finding a rim yesterday, found a guy who is a mile or so from me that all he does is 4x4 swap class C rv's and just did a ford chassis. Scored it for $50

I’ve drilled it out before but the drill bits are $50 and at that point you should just buy a new wheel like you did
