How do I know what size hub rings I need?
The size of the centric rim depends on two things: the center bore of the rim and the outer diameter of the car’s wheel hub. For example, if the diameter of the wheel hub is 72.6 mm, and the wheel center bore is 74.1 mm, a centric ring with a diameter of 1.5 mm is needed in-between, so the right size is 74.1 – 72.6 mm.
Are hub centric rings universal?

What happens if you drive without hub centric rings?
If you don’t use hub centric rings, you transfer the weight of the vehicle to the lug hardware, and the wheel studs will break. Fact is, the hub centric rings do not bear a load. The weight of the vehicle is actually supported by the friction between the wheel and its mounting surface on the axle.
Are all hub centric rings the same?
No. There is no such thing as a hub centric ring size calculator, you have to go old school and actually measure your wheel. Thousands of wheels are available with a variety of bore sizes. Running changes mean sometimes bore sizes can be different for the same wheel made at different times.
What is the purpose of hub centric rings?
Hub-centric rings fill the gap between the wheel’s center bore and the vehicle hub for vehicles that are lug-centric. This aligns and centers the tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle, helping to minimize vibration. Note: Hub-centric rings don’t carry any load and are not required for a secure installation..
How do you know if you need hub-centric rings?
Do I need Hubcentric Rings or Hubcentric Adapters? Yes, if your wheel center bore is a larger diameter than your hub bore, you absolutely need hubcentric rings. This is because aftermarket wheels are typically designed to fit as many cars as possible unless they are custom-made for your specific application.
How do I know if my wheel is hub-centric?
The easiest way to tell the difference between the two designs is to look at the hub of a hub and wheel assembly. If the hole in the center of the wheel fits snugly against the hub, then it is hub-centric. If there is a gap between the center hole of the wheel and the hub, then it is lug-centric.
