stock wheels are hub centric. You could also go lug centric and use a hub ring adapter.

Like Jreid said. Hub centric however there is much debate over the whole thing as some people run lug centric also without issues.

Does it even matter? The tire shop balancing your rims should care but I don't think it really matters to you. I've been wrong a million times before though ... so, if that's the case with this as well ... I won't mind.

there's two different types of balancers out there so if you had a hub centric rim and they balanced it on the lug centric balancer you're hooped.

I ran some lug centric spacers and it didn't work very well, got vibes and such then switched to a hub centric and it's smooth now. But as for wheels go it'll be a tough call but I would think in this case try for hub centric if you can.

I think it is also really tough to get your wheels balanced if they are lug centric as 90-whatever percent of wheels are hub centric. Maybe Chris or Victor can chime in if they have different balancing machines at Toyota for your wheels vs. mine.

It matters because I got the hub centric rims first and the hole in the center is too small to work. The Lug centric rim worked fine since the center hole was bigger to fit over the duxt cover and rear axle.
