Seems the above message was post as I was writing the below.
NEVER increase the hole size of a stamped steel wheel, especially if it removes the stamped inflange.
Aluminum wheels, generally speaking it depends on the amount of material left after the cut. If in doubt, DON'T as there is a potential structual problem.
And no, I am not a "know it all", just someone who has an understanding of WHY parts were designed the way they are. It also helped to take a "Strength of Materials" class in college.
