Hub rings only purpose is to help center the wheel on the vehicles hub during installation so if you install your new wheels carefully you shouldn't need them. Hub rings do not carry any load.
The wheels hub is a 78.1 and the vehicles hub is a 71.5. We include all hub rings for free with wheel purchases if they are available. At this time I don't see a part number for a hub ring in this size. I'll look into this and get back to you. Our accessory guy is currently at SEMA though so I may not be able to get back to you until the middle of next week. Thank you for your patience.
In the mean time, if you bolt them up. Post up some pictures. I want to see your Jeep's new look!

I did end up bolting them up right away... just haven't had any time (or daylight) since then to get a decent pic. I did grab a couple poser shots this afternoon:
(35" MT/R Kevlars on 15" MB72's w/TeraFlex coil lift at about 3.5" over stock.)
I'm very pleased with how everything worked out. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info on the hub rings. I'd still like to get a set if possible - just to help when I rotate, etc.

Great Wheels
Got my MB 72s installed with 33x12.50x15 Duratracs and couldn't be happier. They look great on the jeep and discount tire direct was a pleasure to deal with which made the purchase even better.

the original post of 1500 for the KM2s--is that 4 or 5 tires?

Just to verify, the -19mm equates to 3.8" Backspacing...correct? I am currently running 4" backspacing with no rubbing so the extra .2" Would do nothing but help...right?
