hub centric adapters, feedback please

Rocket Surgeon · Nov 4, 2022

I have a 97 and 98 k2500. One has dodge steel rims with mud tires, which, of course, are of a larger hub size than the truck... and dang it, I don't even have any place to mud.

I have not independently measured, but according to a quick web search:
GM k2500 Center Bore: 116.6 mm on 8x6.5
Dodge ram 2500 Center Bore: 121.3 mm 8x6.5

While all lug nuts are cone shaped, which I think means they can be used as lug centric without issue, I would definitely feel better on general feedback if I should or should not invest in a set "Hub centric adapters"

Your opinions?

And if this is something I should get, link me to a set?

p.s. I presume this might have been the best place for the thread...

I would buy something like that ^^^ if it were mine. It probably doesn't matter, but I would do it anyways, just to feel a bit better about it.

I swapped so many tires on different vehicles over the years, not once have I had an issue with wheels not being hub centric. I had an 08 Tundra that I lifted, forums said just had to run those or the truck would just fall apart from shaking. I had it to almost 100, and was smooth as silk, even with 35" tires. I don't know bout new wheels today, but in my experience was even aftermarket wheels weren't hub centric.

I see a lot of lifted duallys around here with OE wheels. They put lug centric spacers in between the rear duals with no problems.
As long as the lug nuts are properly torqued they should be fine

I have not located any spacers except those above which are sold out.

I do have a driveability concern; I have plenty of vibration, which could be the rims not being hub centric, or tire balance, flat spots, or just plain mud tires being mud tires.

Having two trucks, I might as well swap wheels and test drive... and I actually have a junk rusty spare set of 5 star steelies from an Express van. Can't hurt to test out and it gives me a chance to inspect everything.

GM: 116.6 mm or 4.59 in
