Flat seat lugs would be an issue, but conical (spherical) or tapered seats are 100% fine.



I'm not worried about the conical seats.
The hole pattern in the hub is not nearly as accurate as the surface of the hub bore, hence why I mentioned bolt circle tolerances.

I've used conical lugs without a hubcentric ring and gotten significantly vibrations in the wheel. I'd rather use the hub surface if it was designed for it.
