It centers the wheel on the hub so you're not relying on the studs to center it.

IIRC Mopars are 2.75 and Fords are smaller about 2.6 roughly.

It means that the Ford wheels won't seat on the hubs all the way ( factory Ford wheel won't fit in a Mopar).


How many aftermarket wheel manufacturers ask what center bore you need when ordering wheels?!? How many millions of cars are running around relying on the tapered lug nuts to center the wheels?

My mention of Ford wheels was only to make the point that “late model” wheels still share the same bolt pattern as our old mopes.


I scored a pair of "Ford" chrome wheels years ago at JC penney's for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!!! Took them to a machine shop and had them open up the centers to fit my 64 Polara. COOL!!!! within 300 miles the rims were cracking as the centering rib I had them cut out was also a stiffening device. spank spank
