zlalomz Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I have a question for John Coffey after re-reading your Custom Wheel Hell post. You mention a center bore of 2.9 inches for your wheels. Is there any machining needed to be done to the wheels or hubs for a hubcentric fit? Looking at the hub it looks to be curved at the bottom where the center bore mates to it. My wheels will be used for open track and autocross.

ToplessZ Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Im curious about this very subject. Hope to get some replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 The 240/260/280Z is not designed for hub centric rims. And let's not start the discussion about whether hub centric is "better" then lug centric. Suffice to say that my Z spends all its time on the track at high speeds and lug centric wheels work great.

Drax240z Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Well concentric is concentric... regardless of the means. I am curious to know what cars use hub-centric wheels rather than lug-centric? Seems to me that it would be cheaper and easier to make everything lug-centric from a manufacturing point of view.
