hmmm, then either we got something different . or yours aint on righht. the people where i got them mounted at said they are hub centric/ they put em on and they were real loose. they wobbled up and down and they said it wasnt safer to drive like that . when you tightened the nuts thought they got tight, but they saID IF I HIT A BUMP TOO HARD IT WOULD RIP MY STUDS OFF OR SOMETHING .

you got something different, mine fit like butter, not the parquet (Very good). I left the ugly center caps though so no one could acuse me of trying to pass my slipstreams (spoofs?) off as spoons.

Just call up discount tire (www.tires.com) and tell them you need some konig centering hubs, 73.0x64.15..they're 8 bucks plus shipping. Put your wheels on correctly, torque them by hand to 80 lb-ft. (don't let an airgun near them), and you'll be good to go. If you get vibration, they're not balanced right.
