Default Do I need hub rings?

I am picking up a set of 18" Exel 10 spoke wheels for my xb2 but I dont know what the hub size is. anyone have any info? These were previously on a 94 Maxima and a Probe if that helps. I am a noob when it comes to this stuff so any help is appreciated. Also, can I use the stock lug nuts?

you should always use hub centric rings. i am still going through some headaches with wheel fitment problems..

the hub bore of the xB2 is 60.1mm. measure or google for the hub bore of the wheel and get a ring that has a outside diameter of the wheel and inside diameter of 60.1

Mike is correct, you should always use hubrings with aftermarket wheels. You are going to want to pick up a new set of lugs as well. Your stock lugs might not seat correctly in your aftermarket wheels.

Thanks for the help. Are all tuner lugs the same? If not how do I know what to get? Also how much do rings and lugs typically cost?

Not all tuner lugs are the same. Some have a cone seat, some are ball, some are standard socket sizes and use a sockt some are thin walled and have a key that fits a socket, some are open end some are closed, don't let that put you in a spin though.

Most aftermarket wheels in your bolt pattern are cone seat and will take a thin walled spline set. If you can call Excel they will be able to tell you exactly what you will need or, if we have a store in your area you can swing in with one of the wheels and they will sell you a set that works. They might also be able to get you a set of hub rings that will work for you too. Expect to pay about $40-$50 for lugs and hubrings. To find a store near you go to www.discounttire.com

I just bought some discontinued Racing Hart Type C2 rims in 17x7 and 17x8. Do you know what hub centric size I need to purchase? Please help if you can.

You would need to contact Racing heart and find out what the center bore is for the wheel you purchased. Make sure they check both sizes. Once you have that call us up or PM us and, we will see if we have what you need.
