Hub Centric Rings
Do they really work? Who has them and can give some feedback on them? I have never used them before so I am just curious...

Re: Hub Centric Rings
Rangers are Lug centric so I don't know if you need them

Re: Hub Centric Rings
Yes they work but I don't know who sells them. They help greatly in making sure the wheels are centered properly and prevent broken lug issues in the future.
If you can get wheels with the right off set, you won't need them. Spacers are a PITA from what I've been told. |

Re: Hub Centric Rings
I just got back from getting American Racing Wheels put on and the mechanic pointed out to me that the A.M. wheels are not "Center Centric", but they are "Lug Centric". Needless to say, the car rides fine.. Should I look into these "rings" anyway?

Re: Hub Centric Rings
I hope Pacer Wheels are lug centric because those are the types of wheels on my truck.

Re: Hub Centric Rings
you don't need them

Re: Hub Centric Rings
ah, so having the right taper & thickness lugs is key...?

Re: Hub Centric Rings
You could use hub-centric rings if the diameter of your after market wheels center hole is larger than the hub coming out of your axles. If this is the case, the wheel does not make an even/tight contact with the center hub. You don't really need them, but make sure that whomever is changing your wheels start the lug nuts by hand or they can easily strip the studs.

Re: Hub Centric Rings
I just put american racing wheels on my 08 2wd and theres slight vibration goin on. So I ordered the hub centric rings. I hope they solve the issue.
Am I causing any damage to the studs by driving around without the rings right now? |
Re: Hub Centric Rings
anyone?

Re: Hub Centric Rings
In the short term, I think you will be fine. Just try to center the wheels as best as you can in the mean time to minimize the stress on the lugs.
