0.02mm       that really isn't much

if the center bore of wheel is only 0.02mm bigger than hub  they'll fit but that is TIGHT,   if hub is 0.02 mm bigger  ether have it machened down or the wheel opend up in an ideal world.

0.02mm?

That'll sand off in about 5 minutes, max.

You sure it's not 2mm?  That'd take rather more 'sanding' back.
