Hub bore help. BBS RK on 5.5 gen

I bought a set of used BBS RK wheels from a local guy on craiglist and to my surprise the hub bore was slightly smaller the the OEM bore on my Maxima. The wheels are 18x7.5 and were on a Toyota Camry. My question now is, can I take these wheels to a machine shop and have them mill the amount of material off these wheels or is that a no no? The fitment is so close (I can actually get the wheels on the first few threads of the studs) and the wheels have somewhat of a bump in the bore that would likely fit if they were milled. I really hope these will fit I really like the wheels and they are light. Any advice is helpful.

Most aftermarket rims have hubcentric rings that can be removed and replaced with those of different sizes. Are you sure these don't have them?

Yeah it does not at all seem removable. Since these wheels were OEM on some Camry's, BBS may have modified the wheels for Toyota and done so by adding this bump in the hub bore of a wheel they already manufacture.
