hi all

a mate of mine has a set of wheels from a cressida wich have been widened and chromed for sale

 

i tried them on me 70 and they fitted perfect except the centre hole is wider in diameter by about 10mm

would this matter ?or would it cause the wheels to be off centered causing vibration? are they worth buying?

 

any help would be greatfull

 

cheers

You can buy hubcentric rings for just such an occasion. Couple of bucks from a tyre/wheel shop.

not our shop tholmao because i need some hehe so let me know what one does

yeah ive heard about those rings and so far no wheel place has had them

theyre an absolute prick to find the right size, bet best is getting the plastic ones and grinfing them down to fit

 

search google, couple comapnies ship out to aus

aaaah yeah see, thats 'cos you all live in states with too many people in them, so nobody cares if you fit wheels without rings and die as a consequence.

 

Easy to find up here... and yes the nylon/polycarbonate ones are fine, no need to go all fancy schmancy alloy.

soo would you think if i run them without the rings it would effect it ?

depends what wheel nuts you run on them i think..but plenty of people run wheels that are only located on the studs

 

besst practice is to get the hub centric rings, but like cut springs, plenty of people get away with the alternative

 

10mm seems like a big difference though

 

i have seen thouse hub centric rings on ebay too

Can do it, i've done it and i'm pretty sure there's a few hidden faces on here that have and are running without hub centric rings.

 

Have a read - Wheels falling off and broken studs. Its interesting to say the least...
