Question:

Am I able to use a hub centric aluminum wheel with a 4.77 bore on a 4.75 hub ?

A hub-centric wheel centers upon the portion of the hub that protrudes through the pilot hole in the wheel, instead of on the lug nuts like a lug-centric wheel would. A wheel with a 4.77 inch pilot diameter would fit perfectly on your hub. The 2 hundredths of an inch is enough of a difference where the wheel will still be able to slide over he portion of the hub that protrudes through, but the difference is small enough where the wheel would still be supported.

I've linked you to our trailer wheel/tire help articles for future reference.
