Whjat is the center bore size for wheels on an S14. Isn't it 66.1mm.

My wheels arrived and they have a bore size of 73mm. I want to get some hubcenbtric rings and need to know what size to buy.

Yep, that sounds right. I got mine (aluminum) from Touge Factory on ebay... just looked and don't see them there.

I would only go for one that's made of metal, most all the plastic one's melt with track usage.

Thanks Monty. I ordered a set of aluminum units from Discount Tire Direct. $15 shipped.

BTW, I test fit a front wheel and it clears my suspension without issue. The real test will be when the tires are mounted. I wonder how much the 255/40 tire will stick out past the 9 inch wheel. Hopefully not much if at all.

I wouldn't think they would stick out much farther than the wheel lip.

Here is a 255 RA-1 on a 17x9.5" for reference, let's just say if you drop a wheel on its face, the lip contact ground before the tire does :rolleyes:

275 RA-1's on 17x9... they ballon some, but nothing to bad.

I'm crossing my fingers they don't balloon out near as much as this.

Well these tires are 20mm wider than what you bought, so I'd hope so too ;)
