I am wondering if anyone can recommend a hub centric wheel that looks similar to the procomp rock crawlers. I have a 2008 two door x hat came with 17 x 7 5" wheels..

I worried about getting hub centric ... then got moto metals.(not lug centric).. have wheeled them without issue.

You could also get hub centric adapters for your wheels. I thought about it ...but doesn't seem needed. Escpecially after seeing stock wheels that had sheered off the studs. Guess it really isn't all that to have hub centric.

sorry for a dumb question.... what is the difference between the two? hub centric and lug centric?

thanks

Not to sound funny... but provided you know what the hub is and the lug..

A hub-centric wheel has a center section that fits tightly onto the hub, and the theory is that the weight of the vehicle is supported better by the rim.

A lug-centric rim fits loosely on the hub and the weight of the vehicle is transfered through the lug mounting to the rim...

I read up a while ago, so I hope this is somewhat accurate of a description.

The logic and theory all seemed right, but finding hub-centric was difficult so I just got the rims my wife liked.

The AEV Pintler wheels I run are hub-centric. I recommend them highly; they're an excellent wheel that is designed specifically for Jeeps by a quality company.

I know the AEV ones are, but it is not the look I am going for. I am trying to match my procomps which are not hubcentric. Does anyone know if these wheels are?

Also it says its a 17 inch rim, but will it fit my 255/75/17 tires?
