Wheels & Tires / Re: Hub Centric Rings

« Last post by 78 Chevyrado on May 25, 2019, 10:47:26 PM »

Just had a thought.  can't use rings anyway because of how the center cap pushes through the back and would throw it off.

Well crap. 


Thanks tho!

Wheels & Tires / Re: Hub Centric Rings

If they use the center hole it shakes.  if they use the lug centric plate it doesn't.  I don't know of any places that have the hunter balancing setup.   some used to but now they don't.

They've all gotten rid of the adapter plates. 

Took about a year to get this balanced correctly after trying several different places back when I first got them6 or 7 years ago.  after they used the plate on them they've been smooth since.  I've tried it at 5 different places using the center hole, but its rough over 35mph that way.

I haven't had the tires balanced in 2 or 3 years, not too many miles in that time.  but now they're worn enough to replace and it seems i'm screwed.  with 10 ply tires and 9 leafs in the rear they've got to be smooth or the truck isn't driveable.
