This is BY FAR the best guide on Hub Rings on KZbin. Thanks a lot!

[@Zadnak1]

Ryan is pumping out the quarantine videos.

[@AKAThePass]

You know it! Figure everyone has a little more time to watch KZbin right now.

[@jeremiebeaulieu8495]

Thanks for the help I didn't know there was adaptors available to fit the hub!

[@ChaseJunkie]

loving the content

[@90210dk1]

Very indepth thankyou.

[@nathanbickel8050]

Didn’t even know that Enkei made a snap in ring till now. I’ve just been dealing with them just falling out.

[@imchwang]

Enkei sells the snap ring as a independent part (code: HUBR) however unfortunately Enkei stops selling it anymore

[@giorgosnak9927]

If the rings are custom made is it better to make them by steel (or stainless steel) or aluminium?

[@boolanny]

so am i correct to assume that the reason my Hyundai Elantra sport's tires wobble at high speeds even after an alignment and brand new tires, could basically come down to me not installing a ring to centre the rim as i install it?...would basically throw the tire instantly out a bit and cause cupping or uneven wear?

[@therealjulez7886]

yes. make sure u get hub rings with a cntr bore of 67.1mm. i'm rocking a hyundai veloster N

[@therealjulez7886]

I just ordered the Enkei Alum hub rings, is the snap ring necessary or will it still work without?

[@lummoxx8586]

Could you show how to properely remove the existing ones? Need to convert a set of wheels from a Hundai to a Toyota.

[@GoodwinRacing1]

They just press out. If the seem stuck in the wheel, remove the center cap and then you should have access from the front side of the wheel to stick something in and tap on the front of the ring to push it back and out of the wheel. Don't try to pry them out from the backside with something like a screwdriver because you can damage the rings.

[@jeremiebeaulieu8495]

4:20 random train passing by at high speed xD

[@jeremiebeaulieu8495]

Do you have a way to make the adaptor stick to the wheel and not the hub? Maybe super glue the adaptor on the wheel?

[@JamieBainbridge]

Use a dab of anti-seize grease to increase friction, or put a bit of electrical tape or plumber Teflon tape around the adaptor.

[@mrm1712]

Do we need different lug nuts for different rims? I have a NC and if I get Enkei PF01, will I need longer or shorter lug nuts? Or will my stock lug nuts work?

[@GoodwinRacing1]

Go watch our lug nut video!!

[@mrflxzrl2317]

ok but what do you do if the bore on the aftermarket wheels are to small

[@briangoodwin2862]

IF wheel too small for hub of the car, you take them to machine shop and bore them open a bit more. Generally we don't recommend it unless you need just slight adjustment, like 54mm up to 56mm.

So can you install those Hubcentric Rings on the original wheels (my car is 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier)? I received new front Hub-bearing assembly, and they came w/additional parts. I thought those additional parts are some king of seals for the bearing-hub assembly, and couldn't find out how to put them together. Now I know that those mystical objects are Hubcentric rings. Thank you for the explanations of so many details I didn't know about wheels. In my set I received there are also 2 rubber rings, where do they go if you need to use those Hubcentric rings? Just to know. Thank you for the film again.

[@briangoodwin2862]

Hub rings will not be rubber in our experience, and won't be used with stock wheels. Sounds like you are dealing with something else.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

@@briangoodwin2862 I'm sorry, I might expressed myself in a confusing way. They are 2 different thing in the set: one is the Hubring (they seems to be made from rather thin metal (not plastic, not aluminum (checked with magnet)), and another - a thin rubber ring (about 4mm in cross section and same diameter as the Hub ring). But now I start to think maybe it is really something different, probably it is a seal. That metal part looks like a lid for a jar, but cut out inside. And it has another rubber ring connected to its inner edge. Yes, you are right, I need to figure out how to insert it. I was about to neglect it. Thank you for the attention to my question and a quick replay.

[@olenaerhardt7725]

​@@briangoodwin2862 I think I know what they are. It is an Inner Axle seal for those who plan to extract that Axle. I compared w/old knuckle, that cap is not there, also I found similar objects on Amazon (Ford Super Duty F350 F250 Dana Spicer Super 60 Front Axle Dust Seals e.g.) and saw some corresponding films here on you-tube. Thank you for your remark again. And it was very useful to learn about Hubcentric Rings anyway.

[@robbybaker2332]

you can't fund those at autozone or o reilleys sucks

[@merlyn2121]

I heard most people don't use them.

[@charlesgould8436]

Most lug studs can be broken by hand.
