Question about hub centering rings/wheels
So I have a set of MSR 17x7 +42 with a center bore of 72.64. I plan on using these because my factory wheels are so freaking scratched up. I purchased a set of centering rings to make the center bore 60.1. I did not buy the cheap plastic ones. These are polycarbonite. Anyway my question is this. The rings do not appear to sit completely flat against the back of the wheel I tried to snap a pic of it and it's hard to see but here is what it looks like.
When I test fit them they seemed just fine after I tightened then up on the hub. They were for sure sitting right on the hub but will this small lip sticking out cause problems and make it not sit perfectly flat against the hub?
Also. I noticed that the holes where the studs go through are thicker that the factory wheel. This means that when I use the new conical style tuner (I think that's what they call them) lugnuts the studs don't stick through quite as much and therefore the nuts don't get as much bite as the factory. They do not screw on as far. Are these concerns?

Thats pretty much normal... it actually makes them fit more snug...
as with any aftermarket wheel, install wheels, torque to 76 lb ft, drive 25 miles, retorque, then, if you can, drive 50 miles, retorque... should be good
