Hey does anybody here know the Hub diameter on the NNBS model Tahoes, Yukons, Avalanches, Escalades and so on?
The reason why I ask is because I need some Hubcentric rings and don't feel like going to go and measure it? :hands:

If you go on discounttiredirect.com they can give you the exact ones you need and they are the aluminum ones. Dont buy the plastic ones. Last time I pirchased them was for my Acura TL and they were like $25.00

My rims are hub centric so I dont have to worry about it. But I have heard mixed opinions on the importance of the rings. I have always put them on any of the cars I have had with rims, but I have been told by shops that they are not needed and I have also heard that they are. For me, it always made me feel better knowing that everything was good and tight, but I dont think you should be getting any wobble/shake from not having the rings. Could be a balance or alignment issue.

By the way, where are the pics?

I too have heard mixed reviews but I do hear alot that if the wobble is very slight that rigs and/or removing the stud washer would fix it, so I will try both. Rings are too cheap not to give it a try lol.
Also this is the only pic I can post for now until I fix my Cali Lean:emotions122:

Hubcentric wheels are designed so the weight is on the hub not the lug studs. And being that it is hubcentric is spreads the load. I have raced BMWs for years with BMW CCA And SCCA Club Racing and have seen too many sheered lugs. The vehicle was designed to run with hubcentric wheels so to be safe, I get the rings which tend to be very cheap compared to what you spend in wheels.
