Official Wheel and Tire Fitment Thread

OK, so I have a craving for these!

I understand 'Hubcentric', so how do people get wheels with a large center hole to work correctly (read, safely), manufacture a ring to mate inside(hub outside) and outside (Wheel inside) to center the wheel?

...or am I overthinking it?

Most companies who sell wheels also sell the huncentric inserts to bring the center bore to the correct size. Some companies included in the price of the wheels.

I have seen that, I know CarID does that. Are there places that sell the rings?

... and Autocross is a future possibility.

 

[Andy3521]

Yes there are places that sell just the insert rings. I've forgotten what site I found does them.

Inserts aren't necessary to have it just puts the weight of the wheel on the studs and not on the center of the hub like it should be.

Sonic dusk wheels

18x7.5 42mm offset

Currently have 225 45 18 on car



If going with 20mm spacer which brings it to 22mm should still clear?



I dont want to do any fender rolling ot any mods.



Car is lowwred about 1 inch.

Yea u should be able to clear with 22mm. I have 25 on mine and I poke out at about 2mm

So I found a place that sells Hub Centric Rings named, uh, HubCentric Rings! Most of the ones I've found are plastic, what's up wit dat?!?

So with a 35mm offset, does anybody see an issue fitting these to my factory-optioned lowered RS? Going to a 215-45-17 tire to retain stock diameter and CoG.

Noob Fitment Help Desperately Needed

Hi all. Brand new to the forum and I read through all 77 pages of this thread trying to make sense of things, and I still need a bit of help if you would. I PMd a couple guys on here who got me on the right track but there's been a development and I need some guidance please.

2017 Sonic Premium that I'm trying to fit Hyundai rims/snows on. The snows are 225/45R17 on the following rims:

Hyundai Elantra 2014, 17" 5 Split-Spoke Alloy Factory Wheel by Replace®. Size: 17" x 7". Bolt Pattern: 5 x 114.3mm. Offset: 53mm.

I know I need adapters to get the bolt pattern right. I'm trying to see if these will work for me:

https://www.amazon.com/Customadeonl...automotive&vehicleId=5&vehicleType=automotive

The offset of the Sonic rims is 39mm and the offset of the Elantra rims is 53mm. The size of the adapters is 15mm.

The back of the Elantra rims have space for the lug nuts to protrude so that's a plus (I won't have to shave the bolts down). I'm attaching a pic of the back of the Hyundai wheels just to be sure I'm seeing things properly.

Finally, do I need to find hub centric rings that go from 56.6mm (Sonic) to 67.1 (Hyundai)? The adapters are 56.6mm center bore so I'm hoping that's all I need for that.



WAY too much math going on here. Any help DEEPLY appreciated! They have one set of these 15mm adapters left. (There was a 1" adapter that I'd asked the guys via PM about, but it's sold out now).

Thanks!!!

Michael

If they are adaptors, with studs, chances are they will be hub centric. Most are. If not, I honestly wouldnt be that worried about it. I think as long as you're not doing any rally or anything of the sort, you'll never have problem with spacers. Just make sure you retorque them after 50 or 60 miles to make sure they don't come loose. I ran 2" spacers that were NOT hub centric, on my half ton for several thousand km, and never had an issue. Which is considerably more stress and strain than on a sonic.

If anything I'd be more diligent about getting American made spacers, than i would be about hub centric ones. (Though obviously it's always a better option if available.)

When I went on my roadtrip to SoCal a year ago, I actually stopped and picked mine up directly from the factory. These are the same guys....19mm thick, and hub centric. They also use high grade studs which is nice.

Thanks so much for the reply. So you think the offset differences between the Hyundai rims and adding the adapters will keep me from scrubbing on the inside or outside of the wheel wells?

The offset of the Sonic rims is 39mm I think and the offset of the Elantra rims is 53mm. The size of the adapters is 15mm.

That's the math part of this that is confounding me.

Yes you should be fine. Just ensure you get quality adaptors.

No worries on the offsets.... The 39 mm is how far outboard the inside mounting face of the wheel is from its center-plane, if you will. 53 mm on the Hyundai wheels is a huge offset, so if you put those directly on a Sonic (which isn't possible due to the bolt pattern) the inside of the rim and tire would rub on the suspension, fender liners, etc. Adding a 15mm space puts the true offset at 38mm, which is near perfect for a Sonic.

As for hubcentric, not sure why that is a concern,. As long as the lugs are torqued properly, you should not have any issues. I think hubcentric mainly helps get the wheel centered before everything is torqued down. Just use the proper tightening pattern and you will be fine.

I would definitely re-check the torque on the spacers after a week or so, as others have said.

Snow setup...

Been looking for a while to get a set of snows, thought about adapters and used wheels, but I found brand new wheels on Amazon for $59 each, shipped. This is less than the local scrapyards want for used steel Sonic wheels... Link below.

Found a guy locally on Craigslist who somehow bought 8 195/65R15 Blizzaks instead of 4, so I got a deal on the 4 extras, brand new, never mounted.

I need to get valve stems and put these together - don't want to pay $80+ for mounting. Most of the youtube videos make it look pretty easy to mount the tires with some lube and pry bars, especially since the snow are soft and not low profile.

Once mounted, I will air them up (compressor in garage) and take them to Sam's Club. They do a one-time balance for $3.88 per wheel, and they are fast if it is already off the car.

So I just ordered some XXR 551’ s for my sedan, I got 17x8.25.. wondering what my best options are for making these work? I got 5x100 lug pattern..

 

[Somefitz]

I would read through all of this except I’m looking for what can hopefully be a quick response for direction as I’ll need to make some changes if need be. Also I forgot they are +36.. I really hope I can make these work.

 

[TboneMinister]

Maybe this will help? https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/

 

[Somefitz]

Thanks for the response man! I tried using this earlier actually but it doesn’t have the dimensions I’m going to be working with unfortunately, either that or I just don’t know how to use it hahah

It allows you to enter all of the dimensions...

According to this calculator (https://gtsparkplugs.com/WheelOffsetCalc.html), just the new rim will move the inner edge of the wheel .7 in (17.2 mm) closer to the suspension and the outer edge of the wheel 1.07 in (27.22 mm) out towards the fender. I don't know what the tolerances are stock from wheel to suspension and wheel to fender, but taking some measurements could help you determine the adjustments you need to make. Hope this helps.

Well, I guess I have to ask this, even though the forum seems a bit dead lately. I've gone through most of the wheel threads about a hundred times, and I can't seem to find a picture of 17x8s +40 offset with 19mm adapters. I've already ordered the setup, but if anyone is running close to this setup, I'd really like to see the results. Tires will be 235/45/r17, GMPP struts/shocks with ZZP lowering springs. I know there will be some poke, just hoping not too much or fender rub.

Super excited to see your pics once installed!
