Ive got aftermarket ZR1 wheels, 17x11 out back (deep dish style) and noticed last night that they are not in contact with the hub centers. Should I be running hubcentric rings on these? I never noticed this until last night, Ive had some vibrations Ive been chasing down, wondering if maybe this is a source.

Definitely!!



Do a Google search, and you'll find several places that sell them.

This is where I got the spacers for my ZR1 replicas:

Apon closer inspection, my issue is a bit different... On the Moser 12 bolt axles, the center hub doesn't extend out very far. On the stock axles, it extends out approx. 3/4", while on the Mosers its less than .5", so with the rotors on, the center hub does not contact the wheels, as the wheels have a 45* bevel on the back at the hub area. If the wheels didn't have this bevel, I wouldn't be having this problem. So I need something to take up that 45* bevel space. Anyone know what Im talking about?

I thought f-bodies are lugcentric and not hubcentric? Could it be your vibrations may be coming from somewhere else?

My car is a '96, and I've heard people say the later, LS1 cars have different brake set-ups, so maybe they're different....BUT on my car, the OD of the axle hubs on the rear axles, and the OD of the hubs on the front of the car, the point where the wheels sit against the hubs, are different. Therefore, my rear wheels are hubcentric, while my front wheels are lugcentric.....


I put a set of Intro wheels on the car several years ago, and I had to use two different thicknesses of hubcentric rings.

Thanks guys. I guess Ill just leave it as is for now, I found my vibration issue to be worn tie rod ends, so Ill replace those and go from there!
