Have a question about hubcentric rings!!!!

My iForged came with them, 4 of them. But only 2 made the wheel fit right. Am I supposed to put them on and bolt the wheel? Will that be fine or does the wheel have to fit good without bolts on? Get what im saying? Basically if i put the tire on with the ring is it supposed to sit goodor do i have to bolt it down?

the rings will make the centerbore of the rim tighter to the hub. It will not take out all the play, the lugs still need to be tourqued properly.

hubcentric rings simply help guide the wheel onto the center of the hub. I don't think they actualy bear any of the load. They still have some play when installed, and the lugcentric nature of the wheels and lugs themselves will properly center the wheel and bear the load of the wheel. I don't use hubcentric rings with my SSR's and don't have any vibration issues. They don't hurt to have, but aren't necessary IMO
