But from experience even on the same set of rims there seems to be a decent enough difference in ride going from lug-centric to hub-centric to make it worth the very little amount it costs to aquire the rings and put them on (if your wheels don't already come with that).

PlatinumGS300 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 How do I tell if my rims are hub centric? I have hp evo's ← I believe our hub is 60mm (maybe 60.06mm to be exact?) and most rims produced have a hub of 73mm so that they are able to fit on a wide variety of cars, not just certain ones. So unless your wheels are custom made for your application then chances are it's probably a 73mm hub. Definately worth it to get the hub rings, too. Just ask your wheel dealer, they can point you in the right direction. Sometimes if you just ask they'll throw something like that in to sweeten the deal anyway. I ordered tires and wheels and got them mounted and balanced before they shipped and they also came with an 'installation kit', which was the correct lug nuts, socket, and centering rings for my car.

SKperformance Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 The plastic hub centric rims are about $5 each from most tire store to match the rims to your stock sized hub. BTW you will also need new bolts as toyota uses a unique bolt design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 As i mentioned toyota has a unique wheel nut design. The base on a Toyota nut has a curved edge sompared to other nuts which are sharp edges. Using a normal edged nut will gouge the rim and cause vibration issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Wouldn't you just need appropriate lug nuts then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
