Hey guys,

I am new to the forum and I am new to F-150's. I have a 2010 F150 and I currently have the KMC XD Monster wheels on it. One day the truck started vibrating at around 75 mph and I didnt know what it was so I went and had all of the tires balanced, had it aligned and it still kept doing it. I had another place balance and rotate the tires and still it kept vibrating but instead of it shaking in the front, it shook in the back. So I think it is narrowed down to this certain wheel. I had the tire replaced and now they are telling me its a bent rim. I bought a new rim but did not realize that I bought the same rim only a 110 center hub bore size instead of what all of my other tires were which is 100.5mm. Will that make a difference or do I need to return that wheel?

I'd say return it and get the right size hub center. It takes the load off of the studs and keep the weight on the "meat" of the axle.

you can get a hub concentric ring. newer 150's are 87.1 hubs not sure on your year truck. call the wheel mfg. and they will tell you what mm ring you need.

^^^^^what a mess .... glad I havent had any rim problems with my six lug pattern. Alot of guys keep stock rims for that reason.

Hub centric rings are quite often plastic. The plastic ring won't take any load. In reality they only help center the wheel to tighten the lug nuts. The wheels are lug centric so the hub size doesn't really matter (read tapered lugs). Once you torque down the lugs there's ample friction via clamping wheel-to-hub plate to keep it from moving. If the wheel hub size is big, tighten the lug nuts up all by hand while spinning the wheel until they are all as tight as you can get them by hand (socket nd extension) before you torque them down. I find it helps make sure the wheel is perfectly centered on the lugs.

If it were me though, it'd drive me nuts knowing one wheel is different than the rest. I'd take it back.

lug centric wheels use a different type lug, they have a shoulder on the lug to center wheel.

No matter what anyone says, a lug-centric wheel WILL at some point cause a vibration. Hub-centric wheels, while usually costing a bit more, are definitely worth the extra money. They're also better on your drive train (lugs, hubs)
