Hi Silkyj, The best way is to jack up and yank a wheel. Measure the inside diameter of the wheel and then the outside diameter of the wheel hub on the truck. There should be very little difference between these two diameters. If you are not experiencing any new vibrations after mounting your new wheel & tires and your truck runs as smooth as it did before the modifications, it’s a good bet your setup is “hub-centric” The lug nuts which fasten the wheels to the hubs do a fairly good job centering the wheels but I believe it was Honda and Toyota which were the first to adopt the hub-centric standard.

yea, well i know on my lexus, my wheels came with a red plastic centric ring, however i never checked on my wheels for my ridgeline, i just let the tire place put them on, so i figured if there was a problem they would've taken care of it, i dont think i have anything to worry about, thanks for helpin out man.

Never a problem Silkyj, Did they also install the sending units (TPMS) from your stock wheels to your new one's? Sure would love to see some photos when you get a chance too..... ROC-on!
