wheel center bore?
#4
Thanks. Got it. Is this a standard size for Japanese vehicles? It is frustrating in this market that the wheel manufacturers don't make hubcentric CB's for the car without the need for adapter rings. Most tuner wheels in the BMW arena do. My new Enkei's are 75mm with a 67.1 adapter. Very hard to center the wheel with the adapter and start the nuts. Wheel has to be "pulled on" with each turn.
I read in another thread that most are not using the hubcentric rings, but there must be a reason that they are made?

I think the rings are an absolute necessity. A hubcentricly made mounting point on the hub should use a hubcentric equal wheel center bore, even if using a ring is necessary.
Most good German cars and available aftermarket wheels are hubcentric and you don't have to bother with rings. Some wheels did have rings and those were usually the Japanese made brands. Even with those fitments the rings were sized so that they were very easy to put on and take off without any problems threading the lugs.
The matching of the center bore on the wheel and hub prevents any unwanted vibration during high speed driving. There is another large thread regarding this topic and most posters are not using the rings nor do they think they are important. Interesting discussion and I would also like to hear other justification as to why some don't think runing hubcentric is important.
Talk to the shop that sold you the wheels or call the manufacturer and they will hook you up with the proper rings.

I've also driven my competition cars w/o balanced wheels and w/o hubcentric rings on the highway, on the way to the track, and I honestly couldn't feel any unusual vibration up to 85 mph or so.
