    hub centric rings without taper?

    I have the 16" style 5 wheels with a fill and drill. The hub centric ring installed is tapered and doesn't sit on the front hub. the rear hub lip is fine because it extends out slightly farther. Anyone know of a source to get non tapered or BARELY tapered rings? The only way to get no vibrations with mounting is with pure luck at this point.

      wasn't someone turning rings and offering them on the site for that specific app ? i remember seeing it somewhere, maybe on Bfc.

          That sounds like a poor fill and drill if there is no chamfer on the wheel hub. The hubcentric ring probably isn't your issue.

              Also, I'm not really understanding what your saying. I'm wondering if your saying the front ring is sitting well in the wheel but it's not center on the front hub?

              I'm also wondering if the same effect can happen with a reducer ring pushed into a cb72.5 spacer that already has a centering ring.
