Re: Hubcentric rings help!!!

well idk, its different depending on the wheels you got. i can tell you 1/2 of the size which is the stock hub but idk what your rim size is. call up the place you got your rims from, or ask treadepot.com thats where i got mine from. tell em what car you have and also what rims.

Re: Hubcentric rings help!!!

most aftermarket 4lug rims are 67mm OD (outer diameter)

just go outside, take off ur rims, and measure the diameter of the hole with a ruler that has millimeter... as i said, most are 67.


dont get metal. always get polycarbonate (i have both, and poly is far better)

Re: Hubcentric rings help!!!

kind of a dumb question but i don't know this, what do hubcentric rings do exactly, other than help prevent breaking a stud?

Re: Hubcentric rings help!!!

nevermind, just found that they help eliminate corrosion and prevent metal on metal rubbing, how important are they? i've had my rims without them for 5 years now and no problems

Re: Hubcentric rings help!!!

supposedly its to balance the wheel to the hub, hence the name. so that your wheels dont vibrate at higher speeds. i did not notice a difference between ring and no ring. its mainly the quality of the rim that determines good balance.

not really. its goes in the center to have perfect balance and so ur rims wont have mad vibration while driving.
