Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Run into this problem' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run into this problem' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I ordered these wheels and was promised a sure fit. They've sold many wheels. I'm sure it's supposed to fit like a glove.

HOWEVER. The diameter of the 3 edges that come out from the center of the wheel hub is a micron too big for the inner diameter of my wheel. The wheel fits on for a millimeter, and then gets stuck like a peg going into a small hole. You can't push it in nicely. I also tried other rims on other sides. Same story.
Can i sand those lips that stick out from the center of the rotor? Can I sand the inside of the wheel? Can I gently hammer the lips inward?
will it cause unevenness and vibration if I sand a bit of the lips?
only like 1mm fits and then gets stuck and the wheel doesn't slide onto it.
*edit* To see all OP's images, scroll.
The wheels don't fit, OP. Stop until you hear back from the seller. Anything you do is either going to damage your car or damage the wheels to the point the seller won't take them back.
Here's one of OP's images showing shavings coming away from the wheel where it's interfering with the hub.
Are the wheels powder coated? Or have a custom finish? These can be thick enough to distort the fit.
I would not hammer or modify the prongs. These are part of the hub that is pressed into the wheel bearing. They actually are the device that centers the wheel and makes sure it runs true.
I ran into this problem on my Genesis. The wheels I bought were new stock wheels that were re coated. I simply took a grinding wheel and took a 1/16 of an inch out of the center and used them. But hey were 400 buck or so. If you spent big bucks I would see if you can return them, if you can't return them, get out the calipers and see how much you are off. FWIW
These are called burs. The fact these passed QC is a tell tale sign of a
very
poor quality management system.
You can take a knife and cut the burs off.
