There are spigot rings for that. They're basically plastic rings which make the centre bore smaller and they come in a variety of sizes. If I'm not mistaken, the center bore on the yaris is 54,0 (someone corrent me on this) so you need 67,1 to 54,0 rings for your wheels.

you can drive w/o hubcentric rings on the wheels.....the lugnuts should be tapered at the end, just make sure you put them on evenly and itll space the wheel correctly on the hub

I would get metal rings if I were you , just to eliminate any possibility of melting . Yes I have melted them before . Discount tire direct has the metal rings for $15 ...

so.....as long as the lug holes are right they'll suck it up to the hub where it's supposed to be. as long as you dont torque one lug then the next. you gotta tighten them all to touching, then torque them.

I just zip mine on with a cordless drill, then Tq them down with a wrench. No big deal.

Also, for centering rings, the best ones are polycarbonate, because they won't melt like plastic or rust on like metal rings.

most wheels get balanced mounted in the hub opening; BMW on the other hand has a special tool that goes through the lugstud holes to avoid any centering issues with the hubs when balancing. as long as nuts are on evenly, you are good to go. (good enough for BMW, good enough for me! lol)

aren't the metal rings that are used aluminum? those shouldn't rust anyway.

After that experience, I took a closer look at the rings, and IMO, they are totally unnecessary. Tapered lugs will center your wheels fine. Shanked lugs will center your wheels fine. If your wheels are made so badly that the lugs do not center the wheel, adding rings won't help since, if you install metal hub centering rings, the lugs will no longer seat correctly. On my Volks, the lugs center the wheel so perfectly that when the lugs are torqued down, the hub centering ring is loose in the bore and can be spun inside the bore with my finger. You're better off spending the money buying the center caps (if they aren't included); then you won't get water in there causing the brake hat or drum to rust to the hub. |
