Wheel question

So I pulled the center caps off the Fuel Hostage wheels on my JKU and noticed something for the first time. One wheel has a much smaller bore than the rest. Doing some research it appears I have 4 wheels with 5x5 and 5x5.5 bolt patterns and one with a 5x4.5 and 5x5. Hence one hub at 78mm vs 87mm. So is this going to hurt anything? I’m guessing no, as it’s been running this way for 2+ years without me noticing. Just more excuse to get different wheels.

Is the wheel with the 78mm center seated completely flush on the hub/rotor hat? If not, then yes, that's a problem.

Edit: My Chamber Pro's are 83.5mm center hubs and they're not hub centric so they do not sit on the wheel hub itself. I think the 78mm may be the correct opening size to sit on the hub fully.

It looks full seat. The extra lug openings show flush. I’d prefer hub centric, but it seems hard to find those. Once I drive the thing cross country, I’m gonna get new wheels.

Kinda what I figured. I took a thick piece of paper and was able to run it all the way around the bore so it’s fully seated with very little room. But seated.

I really prefer not running center caps and that extra set of lug holes needs to go. So yeah...new wheel time.
