Hub Centric Rings Fitment?

[Hentai]

So I bought 73.1 / 56.1 centric rings for my aftermarket wheels (xxr 527's - new)
Problem is, only 1 of the rings fitted snug and tight, all of the others were pretty loose, like i can lift them up without any problems. I check that all of them were the same size.

Just wondering, if I put on wheels with a loose hub centric, is that dangerous?

I mean tightening the lugnuts to the point where it shouldn't fall out should be ok... but i rather be safe to know first than do anything stupid.

Please let me know, thank you

How lose are we talking about? Is it lose enough you can fit a penny between them? Or lose enough you can put a couple of sheets of paper?

Depending on which kind of hub centric you got they will come with a lip that prevents the hub centric from coming through the wheel. So really the only way out is from the back side of the wheel. So when bolted to the car, the brake rotor prevents it from coming out.

Either way even a lose fitting hub centric is better than nothing. Just remember don't over tighten your lugs

It's loose to where I can only fit a few slits of paper in there, Not a penny for sure.

It fits perfectly, but just not snugged or tight.

Won't be falling through the front of the wheel, but when I do put the wheel up, it does fall from the back if theres enough motion to it.

And yes! I will not, using steel lugs to be extra safe

Should be just fine.
