The process is fairly simple, you need to use a reamer like this:

not one like this:

You just expand the reamer till all three "wings" make contact and then turn it with a ratchet. You only want to take a big enough bite to pull fine shavings. Any more and you won't be able to turn it or will rip a chunk out. I used my torque wrench because it is longer than my ratchet and gave me a little more leverage. Every few turns oil the reamer and rim so things don't bind. I used WD-40 because that's what I had. You just keep advancing the reamer till its open enough to fit over the hub. When I got close to getting the hole big enough I had to tie the reamer's base with some string to keep it together. The reamer I used was good to 5" and would sometimes fall apart when pressure was applied becuase you are almost out to it useful limit. I suppose if the spring was good and strong you could skip the string part.

The backspacing on the Hummer wheels is close to 5 1/2". Factory wheels are not that deep. The stock steel wheels don't come anywhere near the steering arm. I don't think these would fit if they were 16s
