Your metric conversion math is absolutely correct...but the difference is more than you are thinking.
5 millimeters is essentually 3/16"
The difference (english) between 6.5 and 6.69.....is .190 (not .095)
.190 is close enough to 3/16" (.187)
So, what it all comes down to is....does 3/16 matter? IMHO, yes. The wheel "might" physically fit over the lug studs, but the nuts will never tighten properly. They will bind on the edges of the taper before seating. THis will stress the studs.
Of course all of this is moot if the off-set doesn't "work"

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
