Reply to "Front Hub Measurements"

Just a follow-up for this thread, I have found many aftermarket hub-centric spacer rings and have ordered some for the wheels which I am also ordering which have a 73mm center bore. The available aftermarket rings have an inner diameter of 63mm, I have not been able to find any with an i.d. of 62mm or I would have bought those. The outfit I am ordering my wheels from claims that a hub centric wheel does center the wheel but that the lugs are what hold it in place - ie the wheel isn't actually riding on the centering hub/ring anyway it just helps to center the wheel while you are locking it in place with the lugs - this makes sense to me - if the wheel actually rode on the hub it would have to be a tight fit - while it is in fact fairly tight with the original Campys in the rear on my Pantera it is not particularly tight in front, nor is it tight on my Porsche wheels (on my Porsche of course not the Pantera) which are OEM and hub-centric. I have also been told that the plastic rings hold up better than the aluminum rings and are less likely to bind to the hub or wheel, both of which could be a problem. Hope this helps someone, it is all new info to me.
