hub-centric question.....
does anyone know if not using the hub centric rings or having the hub center not fit snugly (if the hub is actually too small for the center hole in the wheel) is ok to drive on as long as the lugs do fit properly and have no play in the wheel at all? BTW, it has been test drive to 70 with no shake or shimmy at all. any help is appreciated, thanks all.

I think you will have high risk for vibrations and wheel balance problems. Go for hub centric spacers if possible.
