[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 177445, member: 153"] The hub is not just to centre the wheel to the axle. It is also the main load bearing part. The bolts or in some cases, lug nuts, are meant to keep it attached to the hub. If the fit of the centre of the wheel is not snug, then you will eventually have balancing problems and under extreme conditions, could even have the bolts/studs shear off and you will see the wheel bouncing in the rear view mirror. This is why hub-centric wheel spacers are often recommended versus simple spacers. The hub has been engineered to bear the weight of the car, not the bolts. [/QUOTE]
