Hubcentric Rings?

I think I am going to be ordering some Advan RS's today and I wanted to know if you need the hub centric rings to fit 19x10's +25? Does anyone know?

well you need to know the diameter of the wheel bore and the diameter of the hub. if they are not the same which most likely they arent you should get hub rings. i know the lancer is 67.1 not sure bout the evo x.

The evo x is 67.1 mm, and many after market wheels are 73 mm. You'd need to find out the bore of the advans you want to determine if you need hub centric rings. If it's not 67.1, then you do. I'd recommend the plastic ones that don't corrode and get stuck on the hub like the metal ones can.

Yes you need them.
I had a strong discussion here with a vendor.
And If you do not want to have the steering slighly shaking at high speed you need them.

I'd put them on since there is nothing to lose, except the $30 they'd cost you.

Like others have said, get them. I tried running a day without hub rings and the vibration above 80 mph was so bad it felt like the steering wheel was going to fall off. I even tried progressively torquing the lug nuts as some have suggested to help center the wheel, but the vibration was still there. Get some plastic hub rings from Discount Tire for $20.

this.

Tried to pass someone on the freeway, so I had to accelerate at 80mph and I felt the shaking. Keeping my speed to 65-70 until TF ships the aluminum rings.

Plastic rings aren't so good if you are tracking the car as they can get soft under extreme heat from hard braking.

Good point, but I haven't personally had issues with my plastic hub rings. Done about 4 track days on them, but I limited sessions to 10-15 minutes each to not abuse the car too bad The purpose of the hub rings is to center the wheel onto the hub before tightening the lugs. It doesn't really do anything once the wheel lugs have been tightened, so it seems that as long as the plastic doesn't actually melt or crack, it shouldn't have any negative effects.

Overnight shipping costs me more than the advertised 'shipped' price by TF. I need it shipped overnight, my mistake for the lack of planning.

It should be on my doorstep tomorrow
