Wheel Hub Bore and Vehicle Hub Bore

Have any of you had to use hub centering rings when you mounted your aftermarket wheels to your vehicle?

The center bore for the 2017 SS is 66.9mm and the wheels I'm looking at have a mounting hub of 72.6mm which means I'd need hub centering rings of 5.7mm.

What size centering rings do you have for your winter wheels?

Centering rings are always a good idea as it helps prevent any vibration from the wheel "loping" due to not being centered on the hub.

I bought 66.9 to 73.9 as that was the center bore of the winter wheels. I also bought the plastic ones since I was told they are easier to deal with over the metal ones

Hubcentricty is not important except to make it easier when you mount the wheels (before you run the lug nuts on). Wheels do not use the center bores to locate on the hubs, ever...no matter what any advertisement tells you. They use the wheel studs and tapered lug nut seats - and only those - to locate the wheels. I wouldn't waste any time or money sweating hubcentric rings.
