Alright, I just bought some
RIMS and while I wait for them to arive I was wondering if I would need hubcentric rings and tuner lugs. I've searched around and never got a deffinate yes or no on the rings and the tuner lugs would probably be a good idea but I don't want to spend too much on them. Also, my friend got some rims for his '97 Mitsubishi Eclipse and I'm having the same questions for him.
On a side note, anybody have and comments on how the rims would look on a white Sunfire conv.? Everything is stock so I'll have the 4x4 going on til I get it lowered but opinions are welcome.

I don't think that offset with that width is going to work, I could be wrong tho. Its a 37mm offset with a 18x8 wheels. Most people recommend the rings and the tuner lugs.

yes you need the rings. if not the wheel isnt centered to the hub but more to the studs, putting extra stress on the studs and thats why people that dont have the hub rings have more of a problem w/ their studs breaking.
as for lugs, you'll probably need them. most aftermarket rims dont work w/ stock lugs. the size lugs you need are 12mm x 1.5mm
Yeah, I found everything I would need I was just double checking things. I looked over some of the old posts and there was some debate over the use of hubcentric rings and newer wheels but it can't hurt to get them. Ebay has some hubcentric rings but alot of them are polycarbonate. Is there any problem with these or should I find some metal rings?
