does not appear to be a hubcentric design. if you can cnc it, I would buy it and pay more for it, if made available. but i'm open minded...how long have you ran them? been tracked?
interested what wheels fit with the OE studs sticking out? It would compel me to buy them if I hade a few options right off the bat |

we have h&r one that are Hub-Centric. Def worth buying the correct ones, this i can say from personal experience, the wheel wobble from running just a spacer is so ridiculous

i had the wobble issue when i used ones on my car back in the day but mine wasnt a conversion but to stick my wheels out further cuz i need then wheels to clear cuz i was running something wide.. if you noticed in the video the original studs stuck out far with the conversion installed and with cars using studs vs cars using lug nuts that go into the hub (example A). you will need to have wheels that have deep wells (example B) vs ones that are shallow (example C). If you want to use those conversion without any type of issue trim your original studs to fit the wheels and also use lug nuts with beveled ends to center your wheels without using hub centric rings. I've done it and i never had any issues afterwards.
Example A Example B Example C

these work but how thick would you want it to be.. if its too thick it will push your wheels out pass your fenders.. check your offset of the wheel then see how thick you can go with the conversion without passing your fender. remember if your wheels are wide already and you used a thin conversion then you should have space for your oem studs to fit in the wheel cavities.

Also, if you're having problems with wheels wobbling there's something else wrong. Hubcentricity is only of any real concern when torquing down the lugs. All wheels/hubs/lugnuts should be LUG CENTRIC. This is why some rings are even made out of high density plastic. If you have a hub centric setup but still using the wrong taper lugnuts you will still have issues. However, if you have the right taper lugnuts and even w/o hub centric provisions you will be ok (Just make sure you retorque your lugnuts after a few miles). Of course, a hub centric setup is always preferred but not an absolute necessity. |
