I do not personally have experience with lug centric wheels and nor would I want any. My personal opinion is they put too much stress on the lugs.

You can however buy custom spacers (pretty much cut to any size you need) to turn lug-centric wheels into hub-centric.

What you would need to do is measure the ID of the wheel and the OD of the hub and have the spacers made. I ran across a site that would make them for you for a reasonable price, I'll have to look for it again.

It didnt sound too great to me either after i read it. Dont worry about the sight for the spacers, im sure the other guys who just got theose pro comps wheels will like them. But after reading about it, ill pass and spend the money elsewhere.

I am confused?

 

[Muzikman]

About?

Lug centric is the worst idea ever...

Hub centric is "normal"...

I have broken horrendous amounts of wheel studs from running a lug centric wheel, and have never had an issue with a hub centric.

Just pick a wheel and get some hub centric rings, but if you are going to use the truck hard, make sure the rings aren't plastic...

 

[Mark]

Not to piss anyone off or rain on their parade. But arent those wheels by pro comp that everyone has been snatching up "lug centric?"

 

[miles]

ok so what would I be looking for in a hub centric ring? description or pic please...
thanks

How scary is that!

 

[Bueller44]

So our X's are hub centric right?

 

[Mark]

Yes, our X's are "hub centric."

 

[Wiggum]

Every OEM supplier uses hub centric wheels, because that is how the wheels is designed, to spin on an axis, not to spin on bolts...

Think about spinning a ring around your finger, the larger the ring the harsher the movement, hence the load on your finger is greater, and inevitably spinning out of control.

 

[DBAX]

Getting back to your original post Mark, what is your question?

Yes! lug centric I just checked the procomp site. All the sizes that are hub-centric are marked with an * as it says at the bottom of the link.

click on sizes/specs
then scroll down to the bottom you'll see in red *Hubcentric...

crap
should of looked into this, but it easily correctable right? I dont want my wheels falling off on long drives to the cottage...I got kids!

 

[Wiggum]

Let me make a phone call, do you know the hub bore on the comps? Where did you get them from?

[Mark]

4WheelParts insists that the Xterra is Lug Centric from the factory, i'm not sure i believe that, but I haven't taken a wheel off yet...

so if it is what would that mean?

[Wiggum]

It means they are dumb, but that's just me...

I need to look into your ProComps..
