They make hubcentric rings for every size. Measure the bore, convert to mm and check ebay.

Wrong.

They do not make 82.5 / 66.1

Even if they did, the spacer is too think. The bore is too tall, the ring wouldnt even make in into the rim.



But thats not the question in this thread.

I have one inch wheel adapters and I have never had any problem, alignment or any vibration. I track and drag my z. 04 track 19x9.5/10.5 +12 with one inch adapters.

55 pages of reading later....I bought my car used with 19x8 Axis Mod's on it, with 255 on the rear and 235 on the front. I know the wheels are the wrong offset for the car. I think the offset on the Axis is 40 rear, 35 front. I'm looking at the B2 spacers, hubcentric ring and studs already on. Will 20 front and 25 rear be enough spacer, or should I be looking for 30+ for the rears for a closer fit to flush? I can't measure right now, as it's got the 18" 03 Touring with winter's on. Stock ride height, won't be lowered. Thanks.

I still need to run winters on the 18's so I don't want extended studs! That's why I want ones that include studs for the summers. Winters are only 225's.

YOu will also be able to run your spacers with your winter wheels and tires.

Any advice on the size with the wheels and tires I mentioned? I mentioned the winters as the wheels and tires are different sizes and I didn't want one set to look horrible and thought I may have to run winters without spacers then.

Default These are hubcentric rings right???

Hey guys,

Sorry for the noob question but wanted to make sure these were hubcentric rings that are supposed to eliminate vibrations when spacers are installed with aftermarket wheels. When i install the wheel on the rings/studs, the rings don't stay put. I can see them move since my center caps are off the wheels. I can literally push them in, and then pull them out with my finger in between the center cap hole. Is this normal? I don't see a point to the rings if they can move. Would this have anything to do with steering wheel vibrations at high speeds?

^^Does it make sense that they move in and out while the wheel is installed?? I can stick my finger while the center caps are off and move the rings in and out. Doesnt seem like anything is resting on it or touching it. Doesnt that defeast the purpose?

Since you can move the ring I assume you aren't mounting OEM wheels. The hubcentric ring pictured above makes the spacer hubcentric to the OEM center bore, but, if you are mounting wheels that have a different center bore than OEM your set up isn't fully hubcentric. You will need hubcentric wheel rings like these:

Since I don't have that do you think that might be the reason for high speed vibrations?

Hard to say. Doubtful if you are using the right lug nuts and torquing them correctly in a star pattern.
