Default Is it okay to run LM's without centering rings?

I bought my wheels used and it came with centering rings that were too small for s2ks. I took them off and it sits flush with the hub, but there is room to move. With the lugs tightened it is aligned and I don't feel any vibration.

Is it safe to keep riding on this? or should I order centering rings to have a perfect fit?
If so, What size centering ring would I need to purchase?

Jim, I hope you have the answer this!

Thanks!
-Peter

Was the person using those rings on an S2000? Mine were tight when I first put my LM's on but after I tightened down the lugs it pulled the ring in.. Id say if it has room to move it probably will eventually even if the lugs are tight. If you have room id say wait and get the right ones

If you are using the proper style lugs then they are centering the wheel for you just fine and there is nothing to worry about.

The seller SAID it was on an s2k... but from what it looked it, there is no way the thing will fit the hub.

I figured with the 5 points from the lugs the wheel should be centered... no vibrations or anything.

as mentioned before, you'll be ok.

I have advans that aren't hubcentric. I just tourqe my car in the air while a friend is pressing the brakes.
