hub rings for acs type 2s?

[e34 life]

so bf.c is letting me down by moving so slow right now...

so excuse another thread...

i cant seem to find hubcentric rings on tire rack and id like to order them before they close! some one help meeeeeee

and i was also told that genuine acs need acs rings???

[Jcbe34]

Do the wheels fit snuggish (yeah lol) on the hub? I've seen some wheels, SSR's for instance, that have a generic hub bore and then have machined centering rings to adapt to each individual model. I doubt thats the case for these wheels since they were made exclusively for BMW's, the only hub rings you'd possibly need would be the 74.1>72.56 rings that tirerack has. It'd probably be easiest to call them. Either way, you should be able to tell by popping the centercap out and checking the wheels clearance on the hub whether it needs them or not.

ill do that right now!

[CleanE34]

if you didn't run rings before. that could explain the shaking. the part is A670, i believe from tirerack.com

[e34 life]

funny thing is i didnt run rings with my style 5s! but yes thats the problem, i removed the bolts, and moved the wheel around... plays up and down and left and right!! i checked the rear with the wheel spacer and its not snugg!it does the same i can move it in a circle... i cant blv i never checked before! geeeeeeeeeeeeez, and no body else noticed and at least 4 different people messed with the wheels!! ahh i drove 2000 miles like that!

so should i just call tire rack and order them, or do i need acs rings?

do i need to have certain numbers btw?

[Jcbe34]

Your style 5's were off an e38, wouldn't need them. Only e39 style 5's need rings. n00b;)

They should know what you're talking about, but part numbers wont hurt. But yeah, you just need standard hub rings to go from e39 to any other bmw (74.1 to 72.56)

were all noobs in certain cases:D

ah thank youuuuuuuu



wtf...tire rack says they wouldnt know because they dont have those wheels and they suggest i call somebody who sells those wheels??

something about contour and shapes and bs

[CleanE34]

just tell them you need hubcentric rings for a E34 BMW to fit wheels from a E39 to it. simple. once you give them complicated questions, they get confused. its the same with most other stores.

[e34 life]

k ima call um back and try again

discontinued...

well i gave him the part number, cuz he didnt know what i was talkn about e34s to e39, so i tried to tell him in years, but he still didnt get it. ha...

i was about to ask about plastic or metal rings?

im just looking for a shop so maybe i can do overnight shipping because i got a good hour drive on sunday, i dunno. maybe ill be fine till i get um,i did make it 2000 miles. hopefully i didnt f-anything up

[CleanE34]

rim/tire shops should have them. try those custom rim shops.

The ACS line of wheels often come with ACS spacers when ordered. I know all three sets I've had either had them for the front or the back..sometimes all four depeding on which model of car they were originally ordered from.They are a full face part..meaning they have lug bolt holes as well as the fitment for hub centric all as one part..along with a tension spring.
I see no reason why a hub centric general fitment spacer wouldn't work really. I have that type on mr current fron 18"s. I just havent driven on them yet.
Cheers,Vinny

[e34 life]

i probably wont be able to get um before sunday, how unsafe is it to drive the way it is? should i avoid driving, or put up with the shake and hope it dosnt f-anything up?

[ShapeShifter]

Be patient, wait till you get the right rings.
Call bavauto, seeing as they sell ACS.

[fc3stech]

i had a similar problem when I put on my acs wheels. I used hubcentric rings fore 39 on none e39 vehicles and it turned out great. funny thing is though is that the rear wheels are perfectly hubcentric while the fronts are not.

[e34 life]

im not in a big rush...but i planned a meet on sunday and id be so mad if i didnt show.

[zubbie]

I have both eBay composite and eBay aluminum rings. zero problems with both.

[moonsspoon]

Called discounttire down the street and got metal (which the choice of plastic) ones for like $14. They had to order them in, but it only took a couple days.

[robram12]

wierd. my type I's are snug like a lego on my car. in fact i have to give it a little hummer fist to get them off sometimes. well, i hope yours works out.
