Hub centric or not to hub centric, that is the question. :)

I know that the hub is what supports the weight of the vehicle, so...having the adaptor have a centric built onto it, wouldnt it suggest that it'd be a stronger alternative than an adaptor without one?

Dont have a picture other than one from ebay so here is the link to show what I'm talking about.

Re: basic wheel adaptor question

I run 2.25" adapters from Skulte Performance on my daily driven (until it broke last month) Xtreme. They are lug centric. I have ZERO vibration problems from them. Truck drives just like it did with the stock wheels/tires on it in those regards. I've autocrossed on them as well, with no ill effects.

IMO if you have QUALITY adapters then you will be fine with either hub or lug centering. I'd imagine it's harder to find a set that are machined with a tight fit on any hub that aren't 100% custom. I don't think the stock wheels are hub centric either, although I haven't seen a set in a while to know for certain.

Re: basic wheel adaptor question

kinda compelling either way. I'm finding less and less excuses to not buy a set of rims but I want to be able to rotate the tires.
