Stock wheel nuts on aftermarket wheels

[Lukey]

you only need hubrings if the center bore of the rim is bigger than the hub part. if its too big the rim wont locate onto the hub properly and wont center itself.

I saw your old thread where you had trouble with hub rings lukey. End up solving it? Or did you just change wheels

Would i be able to tell if i need hubrings by putting the wheel on the car? What do i look for/measure?

[Lukey]

nah i didnt, ill need to get custom ones made up. but the tyres are nearly unrwc so i havent bothered with it

[charliebrown]

What's the problem? Is it just the wheel has a weirdly sized centre bore?

[Lukey]

yea, and it only need the hub ring to be about 5-6mm thick

[Bludger]

Doesn't need to be perfect fit.

close enough is close enough. The plastic ones will expand and contract, so yeah, just get it as close as you can.

Charlie. Get your nuts and rings from the same place.
Just go to a wheel/tire shop.

By 'whole set' you mean you got the skinny barrel nuts as well as the hex key to open them?

So i can't use aftermarket coloured nuts from traders on here ya?

Yes 16 nuts and a hex key for like $60. You cant use them colorful fat ones they sell here unfortunately.

As for hubcentric rings, you might experience vibration if you dont have them on. Get them they are cheap anyway.

Ended up buying 16 nuts incl. 4 lock nuts for these wheels that the seller used for $30. He said just attach the key head things into a lug wrench. The nuts just need to be longer, hence why stock ones won't fit. I'll give them a wash/polish tomorrow then slap them on and see if i need hub rings.

I've got a quick question... the tyres load rating is lower than factory. Stock is 86H, but the tyres on are 84Y. Is this an issue?

Also what would i pump these tyres to? I've only ever done 36-38psi on my 15" fat fives but since these are 17s, lower profile and lower load rating, would it be higher? like 40+

[Lukey]

id only worry about the load ratings if your in a crash. lol

and tyres id set to 36ish
