I'm in the process of looking for hubcentric rings, but can't seem to find the right size. I'm measuring the whweel bore of my wheels and it's coming about 2.9 inches, which is around 74-76mm.

I'm trying to figure out what wheel bores were made from Work. Does anyone know the size from the factory? Would 2mm really affect the fitment of the ring?

rims are 5x114, 17x7, 47 offset work emotion cr kai.

 

My guess is 73.3mm bore.

 

thanks for your input. but i'm hoping someone would know the exact size, so I don't have to guess when I order hubcentric rings. I'd hate to waste money like that.

When searching (hint, hint) I got two different results. 60mm on a set of 4x100, and 73.3mm on a set of 5x114.3

2.9" &gt; 60mm

Which leaves the high probability that your wheels have a 73.3mm bore.

 

Thanks. I noticed a lot of places that sell hub centric rings sell them in whole numbers.. meaning they have 73 or 74mm. would the .3mm make a difference? I think thats smaller than the size of an ant..

thanks again!

 

Some people may say that you don't even need the rings. Some people may say that the .3mm doesn't make any difference, if you decide that you need rings.
I look at it this way: The hub diameter on my car is 56mm, but the center bore of my stock wheels is 56.1mm. Why the .1mm? So that the wheel barely fits over the lip of my hub, for a snug (and proper) hub-centric fit. If the littlest amount didn't matter, they'd manufacture the stock wheels with a center bore larger than 56.1mm

If your wheels aren't causing any wobble or vibration while you're driving, I wouldn't even worry about purchasing hub-centric rings. Many people run lug-centric wheel setups, and have no problems.


Edit: When I needed rings for my wheels, I had them custom made. No, it wasn't expensive.

They are in fact causing vibration. My wheel bore is 64.1mm, the wheel is about 73-76mm.its making a noticable vibration in the steering wheel. Can i put 5mm wheel spacers on these also? Or would i have to get hubcentric wheel spacers?

did you ever figure out what the correct centerbore size is? I'm trying to figure out what the centerbore size is on my work varinaza schwert SC2's

 

What are you measuring it with? Is it with a caliper or simply just a tape measure?

I have a small digital caliper I keep in my trunk from harbor freight that was only $10. Comes in handy big time for these "small" jobs


My opinion on this matter is if your goal is to purchase a hubring for its true function then you better make sure that ring fits on snug to both wheel/hub or else you are just defeating your whole purchase.

Anyways, I noticed a placed called prestigewheel has virtually almost any size hub ring.

Some people try to order and say they have a $50 minimum(I've heard mixed reaction) but you may want to call them first and state exactly what you want and I'm sure they will take your money.

I have walked into their office more than a handful of times and they never refused my cash
