Default how to "expanding/widening" the center wheel hub?

i have a set of tsw's for my gti, everything is great except the diameter of gti hub is a mm or two bigger then the hub diameter on the rim. is there a easy way to widen the wheel? i'm thinking dremel. i don't care too much about performance out the the wheel this car is just something that gets me to the market and back.

thanks.

Default Hub or bolt patern?

TSW uses hubcentric rings so if thats your problem you can replace them with corect size. Bolt pattern change would need to be profesionaly done. You can't do it yourself.

Default it's the exact oppisite of hub rings. the hub openings are smaller then my hubs. i need to widen the

hub opening itself. so far i'm half assly successful at chipping away at it with a dremel and cut off bits. the wheels only cost me $100, and the car i'm putting it on is pretty much a daily driver so performance is not a real issue to me.
