Rwillia4,

Yep, you would think that careful tightening of the lugs would help center the wheel on the hub. All I know is after we put a machined ring to help center the wheel on the hub and then tightened the lugs, my front end balance was perfect. No other changes were made. So, I just had to assume that the wheel centering hub worked. I think that JP will attest to that also on his car. There was a considerable amount of space between the hub and the wheel without the ring. So, even a small amount of off center tightening, or a small amount of slipping from impact could cause what felt like wheel imbalance. You shouldn't have to worry as your car is a much later build #

Say hi to Armond for me. Have him call me if he still has my number. Or let me have his number. Please send it on a PM.
