Did your wheel purchase include hub-centric rings?
Is your vibration occuring at 70mph?
If 'no' to the first ? and 'yes' to the second, then yeah you'll need hub rings. If you have hub rings on already just make sure the tire is mounted and balanced properly.
Looks good! Now go get some tint.

I found this definition online..

"hard plastic or aluminum rings mounted on a vehicle's hub before the wheel. They ensure the wheel is perfectly centered on the vehicle's hub. Without hub rings, there is a possibility of getting a vibration even if the wheel & tire assembly is perfectly balanced."

Sounds like your problem. I hope that helps!

www.discounttiredirect.com has some for a fact, as I got some with my DR14s, which I am probably going to be selling soon.

I plan on getting 5zigen Fn01r-c's, 17x8, et35. I also plan on getting Tein Basics. It will be sweet!

you don't need hub rings because our cars are lug-centric

also, sorry to hear your wheel & tire combo is rubbing, I would've opted for wheels that fit the vehicle properly, but that's just me.

looks great though, not gonna lie
