Think about it this way, with no centering ring:
You put your wheel on, put the first lug nut on finger tight, then proceed with the rest. When you first placed the wheel on the car, it wasn't PRECISELY centered, so your wheel might be off by a hair in the up/down-left/right directions. Yes, as someone posted, the lugs nuts are conical, so they will technically center the through-hole of the wheel as you tighten each one, but why not just center the thing from the start? It's a cheap piece of insurance to improve the quality and consistency of removing/installing your wheels. Yes...they will center themselves, but think of the force that happens on that 2nd, 3rd or fourth lug nut you tighten it down when it "centers" or brings into alignment the wheel after it wasn't precisely centered from the start. This will, over time, create wear on the mating surfaces where the lug nuts meet the wheel. Scratches, marring, and eventually metal shavings will appear. Maybe it won't happen until the 20 or 30th time you reinstall your wheels, but it will happen. |

They are essentially a convenience item.

It looks like a Corolla has a center bore of 54.1 so, if that's what they sent it won't fit. If they sent the 12x1.5 lugs, I'd wager they sent the wrong rings too with the order. |
