What is a hub centric ring?
The centric ring is a device used with the rims and are installed
between the car wheel hub and the rim. The purpose of the hub
centric ring is to fill the empty space between the wheel hub and
the center bore of the rim. Centric rings are usually made of
durable industrial plastic. Centric rings are also made of
aluminum.
What are centric rings needed for?
Centric rings are needed when the hub hole (the center bore) on the
rim is larger than the wheel hub of the car. The rim manufacturers
deliberately make the hub ring as large as possible for the rim,
taking in to consideration the hub hole, to allow the same rims to
be sold for the various different models of car using hub centric
rings.
Centric rings are usually needed only for post-sale rims, since the
original rims usually come with a center bore of the right size.
Usually the hub centric rings are used with alloy wheels, but
sometimes steel rims may need hub centric rings.
The purpose of the centric ring is to perfectly center the alloy
wheel to the wheel hub and hence prevent vibration to the steering
wheel during driving and the shaking which typically appears around
speeds of 40-60 mph.
Measuring and Installation of the Hub Centric Rings
How to choose the right size centric ring
The size of the centric rim depends on two things: the center bore
of the rim and the outer diameter of the car’s wheel hub. For
example, if the diameter of the wheel hub is 72.6 mm, and the wheel
center bore is 74.1 mm, a centric ring with a diameter of 1.5 mm is
needed in-between, so the right size is 74.1 - 72.6 mm.
- Measuring the center bore of the rim: Typically, the rims have no
indication of the center bore, so you must discover it yourself. If
the rim is new, you may find the size on the receipt or from the
salesman, otherwise you must measure the hole yourself. Because
slide calipers usually don’t fit inside a wheel, the measurement
must be made using a ruler or a tape measure. Measure, as
accurately as possible, the size of the wheel center bore and
choose the nearest size from the table. The size of the wheel
center bore is the bigger dimension of the ring, i.e. the outer
measurement.
Tip: When measuring the wheel center bore you may use a piece of
paper on which you mark the inside of the bore as carefully as
possible and then measure the distance from the paper, using a tape
measure, for example.
- Measuring the wheel hub of the car: The size of the car wheel hub
is usually indicated in the user’s manual for the car. This can be
easily found by asking the representative of the particular car
make, retailer or making an internet search. The inner measurement
of the wheel hub is also easy to measure; remove the wheel and
measure the wheel hub outer diameter with a slide caliper. A tape
measure or a ruler can also be used for measuring. Measure the
outer diameter as accurately as possible and choose the nearest
size from the size table. The size of the car wheel hub is the
smaller, inner size of the fitting ring.
- If your measurements are not sufficiently close (~0.5 mm) to the
stock sizes, your size is rare and this should then be customized.
A customized set may be ordered by entering the measurements, as
accurately as possible, on the customized order field found on our
front page. If you order a customized set, the measurements must
also be accurate.
Hub rings are extremely easy to install, just follow the next
instructions!
Clean the center bores of the rims and the wheel hubs of the car.
Push the centric rim to the center bore of the rim. It is important
to ensure that the ring is properly positioned. When the centric
ring is attached to the rim, install the wheel onto the car.
- Lift your car with a floor jack until you have raised the wheel on
which you want to install the hub ring off the ground. Support the
car with a jack stand when the wheel has enough clearance for you
to remove it from the car.
- Break the lug nuts off the wheel using a four-way tool. Remove each
of the nuts from around the rim so you can release the wheel from
the car.
- Pull the wheel off the car using both hands. If your wheel has
become rusted or dirty, you may feel some resistance; pull the
wheel off firmly.
- Run an emery cloth around the hub in the middle of the lug bolts to
clean it. The ring will fit tightly on the hub; if any dirt or
residue remains, you won't be able to get it onto the hub.
- Hold the hub ring right in front of the hub, and slide it on. Check
to ensure the ring is fully seated on the hub to complete
installation. Install any remaining hub rings in the same way.
