G’day,

Here's the reply from Just for Wheels regarding hub centric rings for GMC's.

As you can see they don't have them and they ain't interested in making them!

Regards,
Rob M.

Hi,
 
I need six centric rings with the following dimensions:
 
ID = 4.567
OD = 4.750
 
I used your Hubcentric Ring Size Search but none came up.
 
Please advise if they are available and if yes how much would they cost.
 
Also how many would be necessary to order for you to make a production run.
 
Regards,
Rob

Rob,

I though you had proper alloy wheels. Why do you need these?
Some guy with an engine lathe could make these in short order.

I think the idea was to allow the use of other makes of dually wheels on the GMC. It seems all the other makes have a larger central hub diameter than the GMC does, so they would have to be lug centered, or an adapter would have to be made to allow their use.

The spacer/adapter that Jim Hupy has made seems to be an excellent solution to the problem of using steel wheels on the GMC (I'm assuming that they allow the use of the later styled 16" steel wheels that don't have the 'domed' shape to the center.

I didn't see a price on his website. Does anyone know what they go for?

Gene,

The Just for Wheels spacers are:

ID = 116.7 mm (4.594474 in)

OD=125.0 mm (4.921245 in)

We need:

ID = 116.0018 mm (4.567 in)

OD = 120.65 mm (4.750 in)

Regards,
Rob M.
