big_johnson Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lots of you on here have aftermarket rims, and I've been thinking of upgrading. My question is: how many are paying attention to lug centric vs hub centric setups? I've heard bad things about moving to lug centric (as stock is hub centric). However, some places make custon adapter rings to convert LC to HC. Do these work well? Any insight? Thanks, -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 lug-centric for my 33's here. NO problems My winters are stock Legos, therefore hub centric. Adapter rings work okay, however, they sometimes stick to the hub, which can be a pain if you are switching rims and forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Don;t curently have after market wheels on my R50, but have experience from my old vehicles. Lug centric is fine, and won't pose a problem at all. The main reason for hub centric is for high speeds. You could buy hub adapters and use them fine. They do exactly what they are supposed to do: center the wheel on the hub. Thats all they are there for. Lug centric does the same thing pretty much. But as i said, the hub is for high speed, like road racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
