so i just purchased a set of grids and was wondering if i need to install hub centric rings on them? did the whole search thing and still a bit unsure. right now im rolling on emx 7's. thanks for your time

 

you should, i mean they're not that expensive. just find them at tirerack.com
even though the bolts fit, the center ring will make it fit even better

 

dont get plastic either, get aluminum. the resin ones get brittle and start falling apart.

 

i thought that aluminum rings rust inside and messes up the rim? you guys know where i can get a set for a good price? also is 56.1 to 54.1 the right size ring i need? thanks

 

I haven't ran hubcentric rings at all for the whole time I have had my car(about 2 years). Just a good know how of putting a rim on correctly is good enough. I've been on stockies, konigs, and 5axis rims and have yet to have problems. If you're not a stickler for perfection, I suggest getting them.

 

yeah, i think ill just get a set. now i just need to find them. whats the perfect way of putting a rim on correctly anyways? the star method?

Use the star method. I also constantly adjust the rim while installing it to make sure it sits correctly.

 

Aluminum doesn't rust. The rings should be anodized so corrosion shouldn't be an issue either.

The O.D. of the ring depends on the bore of the wheel.
54.1 is the correct I.D.

 

You could contact someone at discounttiredirect.com or other wheel/tire places. Tell them what wheel you have and they should be able to hook you up with correct rings. Not sure how much $$ though.

Like bluemeanie said though, you have to make sure the outer size matches your wheel.

 

you guys think that even the smallest difference ill still need them? i mean its a 2mm difference.

bore size

might have to give discounttire a call since i cant the ring size i need anywhere.

thanks guys
