Re: 66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap

The wheels will work perfectly fine not resting on the hub - many aftermarket wheels have larger bores than the hubs they need to ride on, and they are fine.

Just tighten the wheel nuts progressively and evenly, since they are now lug-centric. This may result in some imbalance, but you will know once it's on the road.
