Will a 1mm center bore difference affect wheel fitament? (I think yes- confirm?)

I have 3 sets of spec wheels and want to trade one set for some 15s for the track. Someone offered me a set of Lancer (non-EVO) OZ rims, which I really like. I just checked the listed centerbore, and according to http://www.fastco.ca/web-content/Images/Wheels2006appguide.pdf it is 67.1mm, while ours is 66.1mm. I THINK that this WILL be a problem. Am I correct?

If so, is there a 0.5mm thick ring that I could buy to use as a hubcentric ring? (I seriosly doubt this.)

^^^^^^^^

I appreciate the lead, but they don't list it as a stock or standard size (67.1 mm outer with 66.1 mm inner).
1010tires forums mentioned that they will custom make hubrings for 15/ea.

Or if you're brave you could machine your rims to a larger bore size.

$15 each is a bit steep to fit some OZ Lancer rims on my Spec.

Also, I need the hub opening in the rim SMALLER, not larger.
Our wheels are lug centric. You dont need a hub centric ring, and a 1 mm difference in bore size is not going to matter if the wheel fits over the hub (i.e. the wheel bore just has to be bigger than the hub diameter).
^^^ aka you cant use your center caps

The wheel bore DOES fit over the Sentra hub.

Why is that?

I dont know what this has to do with anything in this thread, but you might not be able to use your rear center caps because of the height of the rear grease caps. It depends how far in the center cap goes and how deep the center bore of the wheel is.

are you sure they are lug centric? i think they are hub centric. ive seen many people here buy rims and receive hub centric rings with their order.
and if they are bigger, the wont make a difference but if not lined up properly they will wobble at high speed.
I hope youre joking^.
My rotas have a larger bore than my hub diameter. I do not have hub centric rings. I do not have any vibrations from not being lined up properly. Ive been driving like this for a year and a half, and about 16-17k miles
where's the joke about hub centric rings? ive seen them with my own two eyes on several cars here in South Florida...

it was not a joke. if they dont wobble for you well that's just great.
Whats the solution to this guys?
I got a 2012 mazda 3 sport with its hub at 67.1mm and my new after market rims are at 66.1mm center dia.
I need a solution to this
