FAQ

What is the difference between offset and backspacing?

• Offset and backspacing are both crucial measurements that determine how a wheel fits on a vehicle. Offset refers to the distance from the wheel's mounting surface to its centerline. Positive offset means the mounting surface is closer to the face of the wheel, while negative offset means it's closer to the inside of the wheel. Backspacing, on the other hand, is the distance from the wheel's mounting surface to the back edge of the wheel. Both measurements affect the wheel's position in relation to the vehicle's fenders and suspension components.

Are one-piece aluminum wheels lighter than 2-piece?

• Yes, one-piece aluminum wheels, such as the JEGS SSR Star Wheels, are typically lighter than two-piece wheels. One-piece wheels are crafted from a single block of aluminum, resulting in a uniform construction that reduces weight. This lighter weight not only enhances vehicle performance by reducing unsprung weight but also contributes to improved handling and fuel efficiency.

Do I need hub centric rings for aftermarket wheels?

• Hub centric rings are essential for ensuring proper fitment when installing aftermarket wheels. These rings fill the gap between the vehicle's hub and the center bore of the wheel, ensuring that the wheel is centered properly. While some aftermarket wheels may have a hub-centric design, others may require hub centric rings to prevent vibrations and ensure a secure fit. It's crucial to use the correct size and type of hub centric rings for your specific vehicle and wheel combination.

Do I need special lug nuts for aftermarket wheels?

• Yes, it's important to use lug nuts that are compatible with your aftermarket wheels. Aftermarket wheels often have different lug nut seat designs compared to factory wheels, so using the right lug nuts ensures proper fitment and prevents damage to the wheels. Additionally, some aftermarket wheels may require tapered or conical lug nuts to match the wheel's lug nut seats for optimal security and safety.
