.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"

Yes the difference is .190 but you have to divide by 2 because we are talking about a circle (1/2 as much on each side) so that's how I got .095.
Again all of this math. The real world is something different.
I did bolt on a set of late model wheels on my early model dana 60 no problems with the lug pattern but the offset stopped everything.
10 thousandths is not much in a 6.5 inch diameter space, but are late model truck wheels hub centric or lug centric?
