Hub centre rings
« on: April 14, 2022, 08:53:22 am »
Hi all, I just had some American Racer Torq Thrust rims fitted which had a tapered nut. they have a diameter of 83.06 mm against my hub diameter of  62 mm. The wheel shop reckon I didn't need them but Im not so sure about that noting I used to have them with my other set. What are other peoples views on this as there is a lot of aftermarket wheels out there on our cars. Also if I need them they will probably have to be made up. Theres Dr Wheels at Underwood. does anyone know of any others? Pete

There’s these ones on EBay.

They are the right outside diameter but too small in the bore.
You will need a friend with a lathe to bore them out to the inside diameter you require.
They also make rings custom to your sizes but the price goes up.

Are they legal?

They aren’t changing the track or modifying the steering components.
Can’t see why they would be illegal.
They correctly centre the wheel on the hub to stop runout.
In the vicroads website, I found this:

This is supported by a requirement in the National Light Vehicle Modification Code of Practice (VSB14) which is called up in Victorian legislation that states “Replacement aluminium alloy rims must be located on the hub/axle by the same diameter centre spigot as the original wheel, using metal adaptor rings where necessary”.

Yep, that would seem to cover it.
