Default Hub centric rings...

hi all, I'm after some hub centric rings from 60mm down to 56.1mm. The closest ones I am able to find are 60.1 to 56.1. So they are .1 of a mm too large.

Is the .1 of a mm going to be an issue considering they are a alloy ring? they are about $75 shipped from the US.

anyone willing to custom make some alloy ones? could I just put them in the freezer for an hour or so prior to fitting?

Not an engineer, but you looking at a massive .05mm "gap" all round on each side.

I believe that the drive is through the wheel studs so can't see an issue if it is a bit loose, if it is at all.

Not sure if you can get locally cheaper or not, but recon you'll will be fine.

I'm guessing the 60.1 will be a tight fit inside the wheel you're fitting on the hub? If that's the case, it might squeeze the inner diameter too, making it a really tight fit on the hub?

That's if you manage to get get it all together just using the wheel studs to press the wheel onto the ring? Am I understanding it correctly???

You're not talking huge dimensions, but it might put a little unwanted stress on the wheel/hub etc.

Assuming of course that the inside diameter of the wheel is dead on 60mm. Might be worth measuring it accurately. I think you'll find the tolerance on the wheel will leave a nice fit with the ring.
