Hub size for hubcentric rings...56.1mm?
I have 2 sets of machined aluminum hubcentric rings with an inside diameter of 56.1mm. These rings fit onto the rear brake drum hubs perfectly with no movement. Great...that's what I expect.
But when I put these same 56.1mm rings on the front rotor hubs, they are not fitting as well as they do on the drums. There's a little bit (1/2mm or more?) of movement I'm getting on both front hubs. A quick check with a caliper confirms that the rear drum hubs and the front rotor hubs are not exactly the same diameter?!? The rotor hubs are slightly smaller.
Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this when messing with aftermarket wheels and hubcentric rings.
Edit - Double-checked it tonight with a digital caliper:
Drum hubs: 55.9mm
Rotor hubs: 55.7mm
Not a huge deal, but you can see why 56.1 rings on the front hubs have a slight amount of movement.
UPDATE: Please see the thread below for a follow-up on hubcentric ring sizes...
