    None yet, but sure to come!
    I ordered a set of XD Addicts last night for my 09 Taco 4x4 and called Costco to find out about getting them mounted (since thats where I got my tires). The tech told me to call 4WheelParts back and find out if the wheels came with Hub Centric Rings. Which they do. As far as I can recall in having the stock wheels off, they do not have a protruding hub that the wheel would center on.... or maybe I am just not remembering correctly. It will be interesting when I take it in to get them mounted to see what they do.

    The stock alloy wheels on my 2000 "are" HUBcentric. And they fit tight. With my rear brake drums being rusty, I had to pound the crap out of the wheels to remove them a few weeks ago. I eneded up (after wheels removed) wire wheeling the center drums and the center of the rims, then applied Anti-Seize on them before putting them back on. If I had to change a flat tire road side, I NEVER would have got them off....:( Now I'm good.....:D

    okay guys i need some help i guys said i needed hubcentric spacers for my 2008 dc tacoma. i just recently installed 1.5'' wheel spacers so that my tires would rub the UCA's. I dont know much about hubcentric and lugcentric i was told mine are lugcentric. So im a lil worried if im okay to keep my lugcentric spacers. But ive found alot of guys on here using lucentric spacers as well. So im a lil confused ive got mpeople on here telling me lugcentric is right and hubcantric is right? thanks and heres a pic of my spacer.

    correct... a lot of times, the wheels that are hub centric are hub specific to Chevy which has a smaller hub than Toyota... some hub centric wheels, especially Pro Comp, wont sit flush on the toyota hubs...

    thats why you get the sales guys at 4wp telling you certain wheels won't work on a tacoma...

    Tacoma's are hub centric and do not use the lugs to center the wheel. That is why they use non tapered lug nuts
