I’ve been reading up on “hub centric” and “lug centric” - and it seems this is ok, but may create more vibration noise.
Can anyone chime in if they have experience with this? It seems there is a “ring” of sorts that can be installed to fill the gap, but I’m not sure what I should be shopping for.
Seeing as it’s a volvo s60 you won’t really put ridiculous stress on the wheels and tires so it’s not like you have to worry about checking it everytime you get done driving, this would probably be a better question for the manufacturer of the wheels. Did you reach out to them?
I have to bring them to a shop to get the current factory tires swapped onto them (I’ll use the OEM rims as winter wheels), so I can’t drive on the new wheels yet.
Hard to measure but I would say 3ish mm
No, haven’t yet. Will see what I can find online about them and reach out.
Ive used plastic hub centering rims many times with no adverse issues (though sometimes the ring gets stuck on the hub and needs a little persuasion). If you can get an appropriate centering ring, that’s what I would suggest. The tire shop may be able to measure and order them for you, or if you know the hub bore of the wheel and the hub size on the car, you can use that to spec the ring yourself.
You can always get the assurance of a centering ring like mf said, but driving it will give you an idea of whether something is seriously wrong or everything is fine, even then you might want to get the centering ring for peace of mind.
As long as the lugnuts are nice and tight the clamping load should keep the wheel from slipping.
It seems the “Installation Package” I ordered with the wheels should have contained “Hub Centric Rings” to fill the gap between the hub and wheel bore/hole.
