Hub Centric Rings - Worked! and Info

Subd, nice write up!

 

They are hub centric. I tried the 106-108 rings on mine and they wouldn't fit. The wheels are tight but not like a factory steel wheel fit. How the lug nuts go on is real important. A proper road force balance helps as well.

 

I got new rims installed yesterday and noticed a vibration of the steering wheel on the freeway at 65-70 mph. DT balanced the tires but I installed it myself at home. I dealt with many aftermarket rims myself before.

I bought the hub rings but didn't use it since the ZX wheel has cap that is used to center the wheel. Also, I have the correct nuts (conical style)

Any recommendations? I will check the tire pressure after work and maybe ditch the cap and use the rings to see if the issue is still there. What is the ideal psi for 265/65/17? I had 245 before @30-32psi.

 

My first step would be to drive back to the discount tire and have them double check the balance and try again. mistakes happen.

 

The TSS model is a dealer created model with aftermarket parts so in it is entirely possible that he may not have hub centric wheels.

 

I've been running a set of 235-85-16's DuraTracs for a couple years now, on three different sets of rims. Something about them is always off on the balance, had them on stock rims, and even RoadForce balanced and they never seem right. I'm going to finally burn them up at around 50K and be done with them.

 

#dumbquestion

Do first gens and second gens have the same hub size (106mm)?

 

Same problem new wheels and tires rebalanced same shake 50-on up. DT never mentioned about hubcentric rings. Had to do all this research myself. Eaiting on them to come in. If these dont fix it im putting the new tires on my stock steelies and making them refund me for the wheels and new sensors
