As long as the bolt holes are tapered and you use tapered lug nuts, my opinion is that it makes absolutely no difference how big the center hole is.

My F250 has "hub-centric" wheels and flat lug nuts with captive washer. The real purpose of the close fitting center hole in that instance is to center the wheel on the hub. With "lug-centric" wheels, the tapered lugs do the centering. In both cases, the clamping force of the lugs is what holds the wheel on, and hold the vehicle up, although with "hub-centric" wheels, if you run around with loose lug nuts you might go a few miles farther before the wheel falls off.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
