Default TTMs on 99SS

Just put 17 x 9 TTMs on my 99SS. Vendor supplied 4 "hub adapters" from AR - look like black plastic rings. He directed me to install over the snout of each hubs.Seemed kinda sloppy fit on the front. Car has a Dana 60 rear - there is only a short "snout" protruding. I installed but I'm not all that happy. AR has not tech support. Just Tires has no idea.

Has anyone bumped into this?

When I had TTMs I didnt put any plastic rings on, I'm not sure what they're for?

hub centric rings. they're supposed to center your wheel perfectly/evenly. it's not needed but wouldn't hurt, unless they put the wrong one and they forced it on ...

I bought a set of TTM's about a month ago. My wheels didn't come
with hubcentric rings. In fact I don't think that the directions that
came with the wheels said to use hubcentric rings.
Mine fit fine without them. I haven't had any problems.
They are intended to make the wheel fit perfectly. If they make it
fit worse, I wouldn't use them.

thanks for the replies. I'm gonna take the car out on the highway and see how it feels. on the rears I can't be sure the ring is seated as the hub only protrudes ~ 1/4" or so so the ring is perched there when the wheel is installed. They look great on my black SS.
