Hub centric rings

Hello all,

I'm awaiting a set of tires to install the Pro Comp 1069 wheels on my 2006 E350. The center bore om the van is 123.9 and the diameter on the wheel is 130.81. Can anyone advise where i can hubcentric rings that big? So far i haven't had any luck.

Thanks

If the wheels use acorn type of lug nuts, you do not need the hubcentric rings. The taper of the nuts will center the wheel as you tighten them in the proper star patter. The ring do not support the weight.

Less money i have to spend, sounds good! The lug nuts are the 60 degree acorn type.

Thank you

Centric rings

The rings do not support weight,but they certainly do center the wheel so you can torque the lug bolts.That is their purpose.You can get the from Discount Tire,or online at tire rack.com. They are not made because they are unnecessary.
Acorn nuts,and wheels can have wear that will give you balance fits. Get them and use them.

I need some with the old aluminum slots I have on my 96 E150. They do help distribute the weight as long as they fit snug. A lot of vehicles now have wheels that are hub centric to support the weight and center the wheels.

I purchased the custom plastic rings for $60/set, they reduced vibration and made a noticeable improvement in ride quality, money well spent.

Thanks. I just came back from a 1000+ mile round trip road trip and they felt good. There was no vibration but I may get the rings anyway.
