Realistically and wheel that uses conical style lug nuts has no use for a hub ring. The lugs will center the wheel properly when tightened in the proper sequence. The taper of the lug nuts leaves no where for the wheel to go other than directly in the center. Only some weird cars that use wheel bolts or funky lugs that are flat or use washers ever need hub rings.
The only thing hubrings do is assist you with centering the wheel. Once you put your Lugnuts in, they take over with the studs hub rings are not necessary for alloy wheels as long as you are careful as you tighten your wheel down in a star pattern and assuming you’re using cone Lugnuts Which most cars use except for Audi and Volkswagon, and some other brands. But once again as long as you’re careful with your tightening, they are not necessary, but they are helpful.
Not necessary. Hand tighten in a star pattern with the wheels off the ground. Lower and torque to spec with wheels down - go slow and tighten in a star pattern again. The cone lugs will center the wheels if done correctly.
Yep, you are exactly right. In fact, there are tons of race cars out there using aftermarket wheels that do not match their hubs and they also do not use hub rings. You can find articles written about it in tons of magazines. It’s a myth that you have to use hub rings, although they are handy and helpful.conical Lugnuts do the job especially when Tightened properly in a star pattern. Thank you for your response.
Yes they are definitely -10. Offset alone doesn't indicate lip depth, other factors such as brake clearance behind the spoke will also influence the lip depth.
I’ve been trying to figure where my steering wheel vibrating was coming from while on freeway. All suspension is fine. Alignment is fine. Just realized today I’m missing all the wheel centering rings.
Rims look like 17-18’s with a 265/65 tyre. So probably 32inch maybe 33’s. Mr triton will fit 33’s with 2 inch lift. But get +18 wheel offset. If you go negative you’ll scrub outa guards.
I have never used them on my wheeels if you tighten lugs correctly in star pattern you have no issues you really think that little peace plastic supports car your out mind
How about a 17 inch steelie that fits on a model y? lets say, 17x7-5x114.3 with a 52mm offset? wheel and tire will sit almost flush to wheel well, yet be narrow enough to provide additional traction in snow. a narrow wheel will also protect itself provided a tire is used that exceeds the rim width by 2 inches approx.
i just got a pair of bbs for my k11 micra they'll tighten properly but driving at like 30 all i hear is dudududu the wheels are wobbling and they've been balanced recently so im going to try this thank you
I lost track of how many times I searched Google for this and was met with article after article explaining what it is instead of just doing what you did here - show me the giant hole in the back of the wheel... 😂
I sure will not buy your guyses wheels because you have to put a spacer in there that could be awkward and not fit correctly you should have rims specifically to the vehicle year
That's not a spacer you retard, it's a hub ring. There is not one wheel company on earth that makes every version of their wheel to suit every make and model out there. These guys don't MAKE wheels, they SELL brand named wheels. Maybe try having a whinge at the companies who MAKE the wheels.
I just changed out 3 wheel studs because I accidentally stripped them when putting on a tire that had a way bigger center bore. This vehicle also has a wobble at 110 so gonna try and pop these babies on and see if it fixes! 4 For $13.50, I think it's worth it.
With all my experience gained from aftermarket installation in my cars, you Do need Hub rings if you are a spirited driver. And Hub Centric ring might be skipped by most aftermarket alloy wheels installers it should be mandate to use hub rings because it definitely distrubutes load to the hub instead of directly to the lugs moreover those who have searched for hub rings definitely getting vibration in there steering wheel going over 100Km/h.
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. They are essential for larger trucks especially when towing trailers or on rough roads. Without then all the weight is on your studs and they will become damaged or broke over time.
