Exactly.
Breyton made the wheels with the larger bore so they could fit all models with the use of hub-centric rings. Discount Tire, however, didn't think these were required and didn't tell me they were even an option. It took about two weeks of rebalancing, etc. before they suggested to try those rings... all was well after that.
