Whats hubcentric mean?
Im in the process of looking for new rims, well i found my rims, and then i saw hubcentric mentioned somewhere on the forums, does an 05 f250 need a hubcentric rim? Now im confused and want to make sure these rims will work for my truck

Yeah if you noticed in the description even though they have 60 degree cones, which some believes makes them lug centric they are hub centric.

Some tire shops will not take the time to use the correct set-up for our wheels on their machines, I just had this issuse the other day! Make sure the balance guy is not setting up off the lug holes!

Easy way to tell would be to compare the bolt holes.
Hubcentric wheels have flat holes and flat nuts, while lugcentric have ball-end nuts or bolts.
Most of tire shop balance the wheels using cone centering the big hole. That very often brings the issue with trailer tires, where stamped wheels can have center hole badly off center.

These are the rims i want, but ive yet to find out for sure if they are hubcentric, im guessing they are because ive seen them on a superduty and they make the superduty bolt pattern

In this description it says XD series include hub centric rings where applicable so I would say they are not.

Sorry to say that most approx 99% of after market wheels will be lug-centric. There are very few who make Hub-centric wheels. Be very careful when dealing with sales reps. Its not that they are trying to steer you wrong. It is just that most will tell you Hub centric when the wheel is actually Lug-centric. This because if their catalog states that it will fit a super duty. and you ask them and explain to them the difference they will tell you Hub. If it fits a super duty it must be Hub. when most of them are really Lug. I went through this whole thing last year. I called everybody and totally got different answers on the same rims from different companies.
So I decided to just stay with the factory rims.
