Steve,
I vote for getting a half inch bore wheel. If you have a wheel truing
tool you could try to make it concentric that way also, but I would
first try the correct wheel, then true if necessary.
I don't know what kind of material you grind, but I would suspect that
any wheel purchased at Sears would not be a very high quality wheel.
This is just a guess though, I haven't been in a Sears store in over 10
years.
Peace,
Pat
