Hub centric rings
Hello all!
I've recently found out the aftermarket (eagle alloy) wheels that are on my truck are lug centric, not hub centric. I don't have any vibrations or shaking but I figured it would still be beneficial to add hub centric rings just to transfer some of the load to the hubs rather than it all being on the wheel studs. The trouble I'm running into is finding the size ring I need and what companies sell them. Has anyone else bought a set or have any helpful hints/suggestions? Anything will be much appreciated.

Edit: When I searched on here I found virtually nothing, unfortunately

Well Eagle Alloy never responded but I did get ahold of one of their retailers. According to them I don't need to worry about adding centric rings as they usually don't add them to 3/4 pickups, especially 8 lug wheels. Only time they saw a use for them was for 22" and up wheels diameters and 5 or 6 lug wheels that experienced vibrations and/or shaking.

we run what i posted on our tractor trailer...bigger of course.they are perfect..no shake and the tires last alot longer..the one i posted for you gets pinched between the wheel and the hub...thats what holds it in place..not so much the lugs...im going to get a set of them from Dennis at ITP some day for my PSD...

Great Link/info Ron, most people never even heard of lug centric or know what it means. My Old Toyota Tacoma had lug centric wheels and I had trouble finding a shop in town that even knew how to balance them correctly nor had the wheel spin balancer adapter that is supposed to be used when they are being spin balanced. I finally found a Discount Tire store here in town that had the lug centric adapter for the spin balancer. But I never knew they made centramatic wheel balancers that could be purchased and installed on lug centric wheels. Kudos
