Regarding what I call "diaphragm centering", our stock wheels actually  
clamp
to the hub. As the lug nuts are tightened after running them down,  the
center of the steel wheel flexes and closes as it is drawn down to the  hub.
When all is working correctly, this closing action snugs the center  hole to
the hub -  a very secure arrangement that centers the wheel  nicely and 
takes
all the shear loads off the wheel studs.

Craig,
 
Much obliged.  Guess I don't have to worry about a "gap" not carrying  a 
load anymore.
