I don't know. I'm missing something. Why would the lugs with conicle ends and the wheels with conicle recesses not center a wheel properly on the wheel studs? Several places that I have called already don't even show that my truck needs hubcentric wheels.

Who is running lug centric aftermarket wheels and what kind with good results? What backspacing?

Spin the tires on teh wheels 180* and rebalance.

Have them also put them on a road force balancer to make sure the tires are round.

Had them reindex the wheels and tires the second time they balanced them.

Here are the ones I'm running but you need to know your wheel hub bore size.

My wheels run the pushthrough type center caps. This isn't going to be fun.

Lug centric or Hub centric? My Mitsu Outlander, 2009, is hub centric. My winter tires on aftermarket rims gets the shakes above 100kph. Factory wheels 18" were just to expensive for winter tires, so we live with the shakes for 6 months of the year......

I've had bad results with putting anything inside the tire to balance them. Plus, on the tire machine.....they balance out fine....I watched it. I really want to put them on something else and drive it to see.
