5 lug hub size question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have some 20" wheels off of a 99 Tahoe that are 5 lug. When I sold the Tahoe I kept the wheels and they have been collecting dust. Just for kicks I bolted them up to my 71 to see what it would look like.

The hub size of the 71 is 3" in diameter.
The center hole on the wheel is 3 3/8.

So they bolt up, there is just a 3/8" gap around the hub... is this a problem? I would think once all the lug nuts are tightened it would center the wheel fine, but just thought I would ask....

any help is appreciated
