The center pilot is NOT for centering the wheel (assuming STAPMED steel wheels). It is for load sharing under extrme service conditions. Somewhat of a moot point tho. A stamped steel wheel will bend before it breaks off the studs.

Centering????? That's a joke. Most stamped steel wheel have at least 1/8 runnout radialy and sideways and i've seen as much 3/8 on new wheels. Jack up back of car. Run it in gear and watch the wheel.

We need a pic of the brake pad with dimensions or a common size reference like a dollar bill setting next to it and a streight on pic of the caliper parallel to spindel to identify it.
