1964 Chevy Corvette V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual

I purchased aftermarket wheels. Everything fits fine, however the center hole in the wheels is +/- 1/4" larger than the center hub protruding from the face of the brake drum. I realize the stock wheel center hole did not fit machine tight to the hub, but they did fit a lot closer. I've been told this makes no difference, that the lug bolts are all that support the wheel anyway. Is this true?
