Rear Hub Centering w/ Aftermarket Wheels S70 1998

This is actually a c70, but not many people visit that forum.

My original wheels are long gone from the original owner. To make the Arelli wheels fit on the volvo hub, the rotor retaining pin was removed. I can put a machine screw in, but even the lowest-profile head keeps the wheels from seating correctly.

Because I can't hold the rear rotors on-center when I put the wheels back on, the rear hub always slips off-center when I torque the back wheels down and then I am treated to a scritch-scritch noise where the off-center hubs are rubbing against the E-Brake and calipers.

*if* I could track down a set of volvo wheels, I could put a the proper pins back in, and it'd be fine, but those have been impossible to track down.

Are the rear wheel rotors supposed to fit tightly on the hub, or is there supposed to be play?

If there is supposed to be play in the rotor, does anyone have a suggestion on how to hold the thing steady while I torque my wheels down? Some sort of adhesive, chewing gum,...?
