Default Did Tire Rack send the wrong centering rings?

Hello All, I am in the process of mounting my new RPF1s and it appears the centering ring is hitting flush with the hub? Should they hit flush or go around the hub? Now the wheel is sitting out an extra 1/8 of an inch.

Thanks

Ditch the rings. The lugs will center the rim just fine.

What he said. Also the rings for the front and rear would be different sizes. So you may have them flipped.

post up the sizes of the rings, they would have been on the packaging ___mm to ___ mm , I doubt they would have sent the wrong rings if they had the right specs, they are pretty good at knowing the vehicle hub sizes, but check the sizes and we will know for sure what happened.

Hello All, thanks for the help. Upon further inspection, they sent me four 64mm rings. I ended up removing the front rings and mounting them directly while torquing in a star pattern with the wheels up. I kept the rings on in the rear since they were a good fit.
