Wheels & hub-centric rings....

[LS4me]

After literally years of issues balancing aftermarket wheels I finally have a smooth ride. The correct size for the hub is 63.36mm. I have tried 63.4 & 63.5 and both sizes still allow a vibration. I got the correct ones here. I also have a set from Just For Tires, but they are the 63.5 size. I got the wheels from Discount (MB GTS Wheels) in 18X7 1/2 with a 45mm offset and the OD of the rings is 73mm. I won't return to Discount as they said my balance problem was two bent wheels. They were just too lazy to make sure the hardware was correct.

If you're having a vibration issue with aftermarket wheels check the centering rings. They should fit tight on the hub.

Bumping an old post, I know, but just wanted to second the value of this information. 63.36 fits perfectly on my '06s hubs.

The manufacturer (velox) lists the hub bore for my wheels at 73.1, however I was unable to find rings with those same diameters. I decided to try 73mm OD rings from Gorilla Automotive (bought on Amazon: #73-6336) and they fit just fine. I'm not sure what its like in other areas of the country but 1010tires.com shipping prices are heinous!

I need to pick up a set. I an ever so slight vibration I can feel in the wheel that's not annoying but would rather not have it. Good info!!

I'm going to get a set I have the same issue on a new pair of 20" rims I have I found it some on ebay for 14 bucks.

I ended up with getting all those parts back from when I traded the LS in!

Great timing for this thread. I just bought some aftermarket wheels and had no clue about needing the rings. The new rims are 74.1mm outside diameter, but found some 74 x 63.36 on amazon. This site always comes through for me. Thanks everyone.

Does anyone know what the proper size would be for Jaguar Senta wheels?

do Jag wheels even need them? I would think the diameter on the hub would be the same? isnt that and the perfect offset why Jag wheels are such a perfect fit?

Shouldn't need them; unless they're knock-offs. My Tucana wheels don't need them.
