Just bought some wheels... ? about fitment
Rightio, I just bought a set of 15inch Simmons for my car. I was in the process of fitting them when I noticed the hole on the back of the wheel that locates it on the hub is slightly larger. That's not really a problem as I can get some sleeves machined up. But, would it be safe to run the wheels like this until that time? Cheers.
Pics should be coming soon.

I wouldn't as the nuts will be centering the wheel as you do them up rather than the centre of the wheel... with a softer rim material like what Simmons use this can damage the stud holes in the rims..

Well okay, but I've run many sets of wheels with larger diameter openings on a variety of rotary cars for many years with nary a problem. That's why I say I would run 'em. By the way, if those wheels are as soft as someone mentioned, I'd pass on them unless they had a steel insert for seating the lug nuts. JMO. -WG

Well, it's all moot now since I went and fitted them anyway. 
Yes, they do have an insert for the lugs by the look of it so it shouldn't be a problem.
