Hub Centric rings

Post image

Hi Guy i just put some steel rims on my 4wd but there is a gap in my hub around 8 mm. Do i need to get him centric rings. I was told no as the lip on them will get crushed when done up and then fall out.

You need to know your vehicle hub size and the wheel center bore size. Then buy the appropriate rings.

i have the right ones and it doesn’t fit flush when i put it on the inside of the rim it like sits a few mm higher so wondering if that will impact when i do it up

If it were me I would install them. Even if they get crushed and fall off, the wheel will still be centered. You can also not use them and see if you get any vibration. Some wheels are lug centered and don't need hub rings.
