yea, its recommended to drive a few hundred miles. I had got my alignment for free cuz the shop screwed somehthing up before. But right when i drove away from the shop i noticed change in the alignement where it felt perfect in the start.

So yea, u can go ahead and get an alignment a lil later down the road, im waiting also

Anyone know where to get a cheap set of 66.1 to 60.1 hubcentric rings? Couldn't find any on ebay. Getting a set of wheels hubcentric for 350z/g35 so I'm getting the right size right?

If you haven't yet, check with Zoeb (wheeldude) for hubcentrics.

Link below will help you search for correct hub size for your car.

you can buy them from any local wheel/tire shop and ebay.

you can also order them online from amazon.com or 1010tires.com. i've bought hubcentric rings from both e-tailers.

if the oem wheels are coming from/off a 350z/g35 and you're mounting them on your 2is, then yes, 66.1-60.1 (or 66.06-60.06) is the right size.

Is this vibration caused from lack of hubcentric rings- experienced all the time, or just at certain speeds or under certain conditions?

My car vibrates a bit around 70mph when I hit the accelerator.

Have a fresh wheel balance and 4 wheel alignment so those aren't the culprit.

Trying to determine whether its the damn coilovers or the aftermarket wheels.

Also, I've got a 2011 350awd with spacers and Genesis wheels. Anyone know which kind of rings i'd need? If they're $10 its a no brainer.

On the genesis site it states there wheel hub is a 67.1.... I've read ours is either a 60.1 or a 60.06 thus you'd need a 67.1 outter diameter ring that had a 60.1 (or a 60.06 not sure) inner diameter.

Does anyone know if we in fact have a 60.06 hub ring on our IS's or is it 60.1?

Hub rings in no way provide any support for the wheels. The lug nuts hold the wheel in place along with the weight of the car. Hub rings are only meant to help center the wheels on the hub for a hub centric fit. Most high quality wheels have a tapered conical shape in where the lug nuts fit, essentially centering the wheel. If you can spin the hub ring with the center cap removed, then most likely your wheels are centered.

It's always good practice to torque the wheels by hand using a star pattern. Torquing off the ground is also an effective way to prevent future vibrations. The reason being once you put a good amount of weight on loose wheels they will shift micrometers or even millimeters from it's dead center.

Lexus ISx50 wheel lugs should always under any circumstance be torqued to 76ft lbs. Not higher not lower, doing so is just asking for problems down the road.

People talking about snapped studs and problems with spacers are not one hundred percent informed of what approach was taken to torque those lugs that causes the studs to snap.

The current market doesn't sell "precise" tight fit hub rings, they're all rounded up. If you're completely adamant about having exact fit you need to know the exact bore size of the wheel you're installing and have that made to fit 60.06 mm.

is it necessary to have the ring if the steering wheel doesn't vibrate too much? I just got a set of TE37, anyone know the size?

0.04mm is pretty much nothing, you're not gonna notice the difference between the 2

most hubrings i've seen on the market are 60.1
