rims not supported by hub

Hubcentric rims are for centering the rim on the hub, but the lip on the hub does not support the weight of the vehicle. Hundreds and hundreds of Spec Miata race cars are running NON-hubcentric rims, even though the stock rims were hubcentric.
If the hub were load-bearing, then countless thousands of aftermarket rim owners would be in deep trouble: aftermarket centering rings are usually plastic!
When running bolt-centric rims on hubs with a centering lip, just be sure to torque the lugs while the wheel is in the air.
