.004"- will this make a significant diff?

I am putting wheels on my car and have a question about offset. It looks like the wheel is .004 inch bigger than the hub. i put the wheels on the car and they felt pretty snug. does anyone know if .004" is a big discrepancy? do i need to get rings? thanks in advance

Don't know if it matters but the wheels are going on a 2006 550i... not my 650

as long as they are snug you are good. The hub bores are meant to *center* the wheel.
