I dont think that it really matters if the wheels are hub centric or not, unless it is just a personal preference.....As long as you get the bolt pattern correct for your make and model and know what backspacing you are wanting to use, thats it. Manufacturers have made plenty of wheels to fit all makes and models. I think most aftermarket wheels are Lug Centric instead. Anyway good luck to you, hope that helps

thats odd i wonder why 4 wheel is claiming not hub centric and sfxperformance is saying they are??? i talked to my wheel shop and the guy advised me not to get them due to it could cause balancing problems and could cause vibrations in the front end. he said he even called the wheel company and they told him the wheels are no good. i really want these wheels is anyone else running them on the same truck as me???

If i were you id try another wheel guy. The last website says they are hub centric. You probably should call KMC directly if you want to know for sure.
Wheel Pros is the exclusive distributor of KMC Wheels.

i called 4wheelparts and the guy said the wheels were lug centric and that there was no need for a hub centric spacer is this true or do i need the spacer i need some enlightenment guys?
I also matched the part numbers to 4 wheelparts and sfxperformance they are the same so one is wrong on claiming hub centric or not.
