Most newer wheels are now manufactured with a beveled hole to center an acorn style nut are lug-centric.

In this case, you could take any newer 5 on 4.5" wheel made in the last 5-8 years and bolt it on with no worries. Really the only time hub bore becomes a real issue is when older manufactured wheels were dependent on riding on the shoulder of the hub say like a set of Boyd one-off "billet" (there's that word again) wheels or swapping say Probe GT wheels or Mustang wheels to a Ranger and then before over analyzing we wont bring up offsets much further in this case. :)


To clarify further,

Hub Centric Vs. Lug Centric. Hub Centric Wheels are centered by the center bore of the wheel and the hub flange. Lug centric wheels are centered by the torque of the lug bolts; rather than the center bore of the wheel and the hub flange. There are two distinct types of wheels found on today's cars and light trucks.
