"Pugs" on an old four lug sube

I know they fit, and have access to some. I know they are tough for the offroading I most often see them on. I did learn the center hole is a bit bigger than the tight fitting oem... Just inquiring if anyone invented anything to fill in the space and make it perfectly undoubtable... I am not after offroading in the 21 year old dual range scoob, I am after

77mph at 2900rpm forever at 40mpg with a 15 inch tire that can handle it...with the real sound of a real scoob none can immitate (just had to add that last part) The pugs offered to me can hold the tire, but I do not like the loose fit on the hubs/ rotors center. Any ideas? A fat center cap perhaps? part numbers? I am going to have to invent something? I have driven these model subes until I was exahusted. The 13 inch tires on warm sunny days, even the best of them, needed a break every 300miles or so... not that I didn't, but some can relate to long trips and 13 inch wheels...they don't go together.

seem to have experience with the pug wheels. Maybe someone does make a 'hub centric adaptor'. I dunno.

I wouldn't worry about the hub center as long as the Peugeot wheels and the little conical steel insert thingies are clean. They'll center things adequately. Watch for wheel offset, tho; at least some of the Peugeot wheels will have a taller tire rubbing the wheel well lip.

FWIW, I've been using 185/80/13s on my '84 4X4 GL for years with great results. Ups the gearing about 10%, and gives nearly an extra inch of clearance over the stock size. 75MPH is just over 3K RPM, and I routinely get 30MPG (EA-81). I'd recommend trying that before venturing into the uncertainties of non-standard wheels.
