If your wheels have a larger bore than your wheels, theres no contact and all of the weight goes through the bolts which is bad (but many *many* people run like this).
Not necessarily - aftermarket wheels use massive bores (~76) so that you can use a spigot rings (~£10) to make it a bit smaller to fit your car.
Having said that, I doubt you'll find something small enough to go from 57.1>56.1, but you could have something custom made.
