Had a bit of a try out today with a sierra hub and Peugeot 206 GTi alloy, the 4 "lugs" within the alloy centre, are all in contact with the
hub so I dont think the threads will be taking any undue stress.
Hope the pic makes sense, but the overlap is about 15mm (obviously less with the disc on there too)

Yeh they dont look the same do they.
Im thinking theyre going to be ok as the hub although not a tight fit into the wheel, is certainly in contact so I can only imagine this will stop the
threads doing all the work.

Update to this one.
Now Ive got the discs and everything bolted up, there is only 4 mm of wheel centre around the hub. I dont think this is going to be sufficient
especially when you note that it is not all the way round, but only on the 4 lugs of the wheel centre.
I appreciate with the discs on, there is only 9mm of hub protruding through the disc anyway, but this I think is fine as it would be all the way
around on the correct wheel.
Ill try and post a pic to explain it better, thought and opinions accepted.
Cheers

What is this distance, would probably even easier to make up a spigot that is a bit wider

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Youll see just inside your arrows, there is a chamfer, between them the bore is 65mm.
Lookin increasingly like Ill flog them and buy a set of Ford ones tbh, but depends on what can be done
Thanks

I couldn't find any Ford wheels with the offset that I need, apart from the RS type that I am using

I've got a Xantia with alloy wheels, since Peugeot and Citroen are owned by the same parent company (PSA), I get the same alloy wheel fitment.
My alloy's look similar to yours and you're right about the overlap in the centre and because of that and the fact that they use wheel
bolts instead of studs they are a right pain to put on, you've got to hold the wheel in place with your foot until you've got a bolt in to
hold it, it won't just sit. The most common type of wheel bolts on the Peugeot / Citroen alloys are a special type with a flat washer they have
no tapered seat, you have to be careful about the nuts you use to hold your Pug alloys onto the Ford hubs.
