For people with G35 wheels, do you use hub centric rings?
#16
Googling finally paid off I think. I found me a set off eBay cheap and I bought it. It's 67/60.1, so I hope that little difference won't hurt it much. If it don't fit I'll try to shave off some.

Anyways, I installed the rings and the shakiness is still there (but I don't want to discuss that here since there's thousands of threads concerning it).

well update since mike has reminded me of this thread. The G35 hub bore is 66.06 and the gs is 60.06 but both the measurement are rounded up to the nearest tenth so that equates to 66.1 for the g35 and 60.1 for the gs. I received the hub rings from 1010tires and they fit perfectly. After installation I experienced about a 90% reduction in shake I still get a little bit but its probably my car need to change all of the bushing on the front end.

That is actually the opposite, when a wheel uses an acorn type lug, the wheel is a hub centric type wheel. Our OE wheels are Lug centric, the lug fits into the wheel and it's centered by the lugs. Hope this can clear up some of the information being passed around. This is my first time using hub centric rings because I had a nasty vibration around 60mph, so I got the rings and problem solved. I have never had any issues in the past with after market wheels and no rings on other vehicles, so the only way I see the wheels being the cause of studs braking off is if the studs are damaged or the lugs are loose. If you can get rings then do it, but I would not loose any sleep by not having them.

I'd go with the 60/66 set. Although the G35's rim diameter may be 67mm, it doesn't necessarily mean that it'll fit snugly over a 67mm ring. Therefore if you buy a 66mm ring, it'll give it some buffer room.

BTW I am using Kics R40 Lugs to clear my ARP Extended studs so I was not worried about the studs breaking but instead for the damn vibrating to stop. From what I've seen the price for the rings on 1010tires is only a couple dollars more but it seems that they are the only ones making it in the size we need so we have no choice really.

help me out here. I have the stock 16 inch on my car now. The car vibrates around 60-65 mph. I also have a set of stock 19 inch g35 wheels and the car also vibrates around the same mph.
I would buy the centric rings but I have no idea on the size and kind that i would need. would it be different for both sets of wheels? Could that be the vibration problem? I know from reading these posts that there are many other possible solutions to the vibration, but I will continue one thing at a time.

Can just changing the lugs to aftermarket lugs make a difference.
the short cut you send me is for rings that are 60.10 x 67.10
The G35 outer bore for the 19s is 66 mm.
would that make a difference?
would lugs like these fix the problem. I dont think centric hubs are needed if I use these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-LI...em290214302858
