Question on method 305 wheels.

Good call. I’ll remove them prior to the install. Just wasn’t sure if it was necessary to have them in place for installation. How about hubcentric rings?

Hey a couple question on my new method 305 wheels. They have the simulation beadlock ring on them. Does this ring have to be taken off prior to mounting? If it does I’ll do it prior to bring them to get mounted. I don’t need some moron to fk them up. Secondly should I have hubcentric rings or won’t they even work because of the push through center cap design? Thanks everyone.

hub centering rings are a sham. a joke. a gimmick. like maghytec flat diff covers that hold 9qt of gear oil.
for a centering ring to be effective the inside has to be machined exact to the axle hub and the outside machined exact to the wheel bore. from my experience they arent machined exact which leaves radial slop between the wheel and ring. rendering the ring completely useless.
also theres no use in having two centering mechanisms at the same time on the same wheel. nearly all aftermarket wheels are machined to center on the studs. some factory wheels are machined to center on the axle hub but normally use a totally different lug design
