ing a Rays wheel sale.

I know the Rays LM4 GT rims are done for Nissans with the correct counterbore hole size, but if you order them for a Supra do they come with the correct counterbore size or do they expect you to use adaptor rings? I was very disappointed to see a MKIV the other month on magnesium Rays rims, but with plastic hub adaptors. They may have been adapted from another application though. Given the price I'd expect them to be the right fitting.

Based on my wheels Chris, the measurements I had control over was PCD and Offset

The counterbore is not correct, and I completly agree with you on the price of these wheels , everything should fit; I was and am still am very annoyed over it

On a side note where can I get the counterbore adapter rings and how do I know what fits?

I actually got Hub Rings with my wheels from Rays

On a side note just reading up here:

The hub rings sole responsibility is to take up the space between the center bore of the wheel and the hub of the car. For example: the center bore of all 4x100mm and 5x100mm wheels is 64mm.

All wheels are classified as being either "Hub Centric", or "Lug Centric." The term Centric refers to the way a wheel is centered. In other words a hub centric wheel centers on the hub of the car, if you put the wheel on the car without lug nuts the wheel would be perfectly centered. On a lug centric wheel, the wheels are centered by the lugs as they are tightened down. Manufacturers build wheels lug centric to allow the wheel to fit a wider selection of vehicles.

Are all after market wheels "Hub Centric" requiring a Hub Centric Ring then?

If you have spent a lot on rims, which I presume you have, then I'd get a machine shop to turn up some rings that are a press fit in the rims, made from alloy. Loctite them in with Loctite bearing fit. The ID of the rings needs to be a snug, but not tight, fit on the nose of the car's hubs. ALL the vertical shock loadings of hitting potholes and bumps needs to be taken via the counterbore and hub nose, NOT the wheel studs, which should be used solely in tension, NOT in shear. Wheel wobble and vibration and hugely overloaded wheel studs can occur if the wheel is just held by the studs. Plastic rings don't cut it at all. Ebay ones often fit where they touch. Get as much surface area of the ring OD within the wheel as possible. In other words make them as deep as the machined bore of the wheel allows.

No matter the price, IMO a wheel with a generic counterbore size that needs adaptor rings to fit is a bad wheel. But you can remedy this to a very large extent with properly machined parts, at a further cost.

Thanks Chris, to add another variable to the Calculation, NeweraParts also F**ked up the Offset even though the car was with them in Japan.

So was going to get Project Kics Hub Centric Rings, but how would I measure what ring Fits?

Spacers

Project Kics Wide Tread Wheel Spacers Type:10mm / 5 X 114.3mm (FRONT)

Project Kics Wide Tread Wheel Spacers Type:25mm / 5 X 114.3mm (REAR)

Wheels

Volk Racing GT-C Face 2 Wheels Size:5X114.3 19X10.5J ET+37 (REAR)

Volk Racing GT-C Face 2 Wheels Size:5X114.3 19X9.5J ET+24 (FRONT)

The nose of the hub diameter will be well documented, a search should find it, or I have some rear hubs off a car here I can measure later for you. You will have to measure the ID of the wheel counterbore yourself. Personally I'd get a machine shop to permanently fit some adaptors to the rims, Loctited and held with countersunk Allen bolts as well. If the rims sizes above are what you are running (wide arched car with stock suspension arms?) it'll need all the help it can get as the hub loadings will be fearsome.

Thanks Chris, just here in Ireland I found it hard to even get a Aluminium Welder for my oil cooler(Gave up in the end and just got a new mocal unit); not a chance getting any machine shops over here and if you could they would charge me $$$$

Think I found the Hubcentric Rings, nothing is available for the Front 10mm they only do 15mm and above

So for the rear, Supra standard Bore is 60mm and the Spacer is 25mm

Project Kics Hub Centric Ring

Diameter: 60mm - Thickness: 25mm

If I got the correct offset would this reduce the Load? or how can I address the issue considering she is Wide arch and Standard Suspension arms

The nose on the hub is as far as im aware 60.1 mm, front and rear

I want a set of LM-GT4s badly! Thanks for pointing this out! (Chris with the bore, not the original post - I got the email too )

Glad i bothered to post it up :d

I made my own spigot rings out of high grade aluminium alloy that are a tight fit on the hubs and in my wheels.

I've been running 19 x 10 fronts and 19 x 11.5 rears for over 4 years and have no wheel stud problems or wheel bearing problems, now on 131,000 miles on the original bearings:)
