Default 2011 xB Hub Centric Rings Update..

Well after trying listed 2008-2010 hub centric rings at discount tires they did not fit. After calling scion and new measurements we came up with these:

Fits perfect-My rims road smooth before but I always use hub rings.......It's better knowing things are the smoothest they can be. 15 bucks @ any discount tire, but free for me!!

Hope this helps all 11's & 12 xB's.

Odd that they would change the hubs from 60.1mm to 60.06mm.

I've been wondering the same thing.....Shortage of Parts Maybe, Recall or faulty? Can anyone confirm if these sizes are used in Corolla, Camry, ect......

I'll keep searching for answers peeps......

Would this affect in the case of buying wheel spacers . Would 10mm spacers from a 2010 fit a 2012 ? Wheel center bore size ?

.04mm is .0015 inch. An intentional change of 1/1000 of an inch in hub bore diameters between model years? 1/1000 inch precision in plastic hub rings? I think not. That's less than the thickness of the average human hair. I think 2011 XBs use the same size rings as 08-10 XBs. Some vendors probably package their rings rounded up to 60.1mm and others as 60.06mm. They are the same and nothing to worry about.

EXACTLY!!! The reason we (discount tire) use the 60.06mm rings is because that's the actual measurement. Our POS system only uses 3 digits, not 4 so we round up. From what I hear most people just round up. (It's also the same for Minis and a few other vehicles) We use the 60.06 for almost all Toyotas.There is absolutely no difference from 2008-2011. Trust me it's all the same!

No there not the same sorry.....Guess I will tell ya again...The 60.01 for the 08-10 will not fit the 11 unless getting the bigger 60.06 I tried it personally...Now using the 60.06 on a 08-10 is another story. Trust me on this.

I trust you completely on this! I believe the actual hub size is 60mm and the rings are slightly over-sized so that they can slide on. The OP is saying that a 60.1mm ring doesn't fit but a smaller bore 60.06mm ring does. He'll figure it out eventually.

The Gorilla 60.01 rings will not fit the hub of a 2011 XB...wont even slide on. Again the correct Gorilla Hub rings are the 60.06.

I have Camry BBS RKs on my 2011 with no issues whatsoever. Even running Ichiba spacers in the rear, again, with no problems. Everything fit fine with no issues whatsoever.

Default hubcentric

So this means I can't use Ichiba 10mm rear spacers 5x114 60.1 on my 2012 xb . The hubcentric 60.1 is too small ?

WTF did you even find 60.01 rings in the first place? The correct size is 60.06mm which is often abbreviated to 60.1mm, not 60.01mm. I've never seen nor heard of 60.01mm rings but if they exist, they would not fit easily on a 60mm hub.

Again the actual hub size for 08-12 XBs is 60mm which requires a slightly larger ring so that it can be installed without a press. Your shop must have tried installing the wrong size rings. 08-12 XBs use 60.06mm (aka 60.1mm) rings.

Any spacers made for the 08-10 XB will fit perfectly on 11-12 XBs.

You don't need hubcentric rings with Scion wheels because they already have the correct hub bore. Most aftermarket wheels have over-sized hub bores so they fit more cars and require these rings to maintain the hub-centric wheel centering.

^X2 on everything he said!! He is 100% correct.

Guys and Gals, Please trust me.... I get paid to know this ish..... As a matter of fact, gorilla only makes a 60.06 ring. They don't even make a 60.10... or 60.01 ring for that matter...
