When discussing wheel modifications, we can't help but mention a key component: the hub center ring. This seemingly insignificant component actually has a profound impact on driving safety. So, what exactly is a hub center ring/reducing ring? What is its function? Does it affect driving safety? Let's find out with JUNWEI.
The hub center ring's core function is to precisely position and secure the wheel hub. It ensures that the hub center and the axle center are perfectly aligned, thus ensuring vehicle stability. Simply relying on screws to secure the wheel hub to the vehicle body is insufficient to ensure driving safety. In fact, the nuts and screws primarily secure the wheel hub to the vehicle body, while the tight fit of the hub reducing ring and the axle head is crucial for supporting the vehicle's weight. When modifying wheels, many drivers may overlook a crucial detail: if the center hole of the modified wheel hub is larger than the original vehicle size, without a hub center ring installed, the vehicle may experience severe shaking at high speeds. This is usually caused by play between the wheel hub and the axle. Check and confirm whether the hub center ring is missing. Furthermore, without a hub ring, the vehicle's weight is supported solely by the screws and nuts. Long-term driving can cause the screws to deform, posing a serious safety hazard.
Some riders mistakenly believe that installing a hub center ring after modifying the wheels compromises safety. They believe the hub's center hole size must strictly match the original axle head size. However, this view is inaccurate. In reality, installing a hub center ring does not compromise safety and can accommodate different wheel sizes. As long as the selected size is appropriate and of reliable quality, it will not adversely affect driving safety. For example, if the original axle head size is 67.1mm and the modified hub's center hole size is 73.1mm, a hub ring with a 73.1mm to 67.1mm conversion diameter is required. However, choosing the wrong size may prevent the hub ring from being installed or cause the vehicle to shake at high speeds.
