1956 Super 88-wheels

Hi Guys,
wanted some new wheels for my S88 and tried one recommended by Coker. It was OK, but the bore was slightly larger than the hub. Coker say this OK because their wheels are designed to fit a range of bore sizes and they've never had a failure. It seems to me that it puts great stress on the studs particularly as our cars can be parked up for long periods. Anyone got any views or experiences.

Studs and lug nuts is what holds in place, definitely recheck after 100 miles or so.

The bore does not center nor support the wheel. The Vendor is correct as the same wheel will fit a variety of cars and trucks. As stated above its the studs that do all the work.
