Center bore critical?

Looking at getting a set of Method MR304 Double Standard wheels for my X. everything looks right except the center bore is said to be 130mm. Assume that this is not an issue since it centers off the lug nuts not the wheel center. Have I missed something?

Not a big fan of lug centric wheels on heavy vehicles. Excursions come with hub centric wheels because the hub properly centers the wheel. It doesn't take much to cause a vibration that you cant get rid of.

I would steer clear of lug centric wheels. As mentioned by @Cocky EX these are heavy vehicles that rely on wheels being in the right place and tracking correctly. A little less toque on one lug nut can cause enough chaos.
