Default wheel install ? Do I need to use hubcentric rings on 93 s10 blazer 4x4?

I have read a few comments but didnt see find the answer that I am looking for. Please help as I have new PepBoy Prolines (the 10 holes that look like stock wheels). I got them like 50% off but I went to install them and noticed the bore size is larger on the wheel. So then I orded hubcentric rings and went to install them last night. Well now my center caps will not fit!
So do I have to use the hubcentric rings or can I just bolt them on as-is and use the center caps?
Trucks tires size is stock... I take it hunting n fishing but I dont beat the truck or anything. I just dont want a wheel falling off on me.
Only other option would be to buy maybe some push in center caps if I can find ones that fit.
I was all excited to get these and their just sitting in my garage.
Hope this makes sense... Your help is appreciated

It looks like some guys are running much larger tires, did you use hub rings? Am I worrying over a non issue?

Don't the center caps act as centering rings for those wheels? Either way, you do need to be careful and make sure you torque the lug nuts properly in the proper pattern so the wheel stays centered. Make sure you retorque the lug nuts after 100 miles or so.
