MY RELIGION IS THE SMALL BLOCK V8 AND COMMANDMENTS ONE THROUGH TEN ARE NEVER LIFT.

Most aftermarket wheels will have a 70mm centre bore and expect that you install a plastic adapter such as a hub-centric ring to size it down to your specific centre bore. They're quite inexpensive. Any local tire shop should be able to provide one (and probably Tire Rack as well, if you contact their support line).

Not all steel wheels accept hub-centric rings though, so you might be out of luck. Again, Tire Rack would probably be able to tell you.

If you torque your lugs properly (in a star-pattern) it should centre the wheel properly with only the lugs, no adapter required, but I like to add the adapter on alloy wheels.

Most of the time I just buy OEM wheels from local enthusiast forums for winter wheels. You can often get them cheaply, especially in small sizes, as the owners upgrade.
