[QUOTE="KL2DC, post: 175873, member: 3452"] The shop has a point. Hubcentric wheels simply means that the center of the wheels fit snugly exactly to the diameter of the hub. Some universal aftermarket wheels will have larger diameter centers/openings to suit different applications. If you have matched the bolt pattern, you could just bolt the wheel in place, but you would be relying on the lugs to center the wheel (a lug centric set-up). This is inherently more prone to imbalances/vibrations as they are not seating as snug/tight against the hub as hubcentric wheels. [/QUOTE]
