Hub Centric Rings
So I need a little education - looking to do some smoothies on my 64 stepside.... so I guess I need Hub Centric Rings - I've never dealt with these - has anyone used these - and does any have insight into how you measure for these... completely outside my comfort zone here. Thanks

Re: Hub Centric Rings
hub centric rings help to center the wheels on the hubs. what type of smoothies are you going with ? Chances are you can get by with out the rings.But if you develop a vibration you can use an E.T. style lug nut.

Re: Hub Centric Rings
not being hub centric on a hub-centric truck with a lug-centric wheel is ok if the hub opening is too large (C/K20 guys do it often by using Ford 3/4 ton wheels on our 3/4 ton trucks). But a too small hub opening is a no-go.

Re: Hub Centric Rings
if its 5 lug its a 3 in bore , if its a factory drums its 3.5 , the larger bore center ones
will work but the caps are horriable , i suggest machining the hubs down to 3 and run the 88-98 3 in bore wheels caps is way better Posted via Mobile Device
