Lug centric vs hub centric for stock wheels

So I've read several threads on here about hub/lug centric wheels spacers but didn't quite find the answer I was looking for. From what I read.. my 07 sports wheels are hub centric so if I where to get wheel spacers they would have to be hub centric spacers or is this incorrect? I'm looking to buy some spacers from a member but he thinks they are lug centric spacers and idk how to tell the difference between the 2 really. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Kind of time sensitive too. Thanks again TW!

 

Yes Toyota wheels are Hub Centric. Yes if you get spacers they also should be Hub Centric. The way you could guess is if they fit tightly around the hub ring they are probably hub centric.

Even if they are not you could get hub adapter rings to align them properly.

Lug centric means the spacer centers up on the axle hub by means of the lugs. The center hole of the spacer is large enough to accommodate the center hub of the axle and the lug holes are what centers the spacer. here is a picture of a lug centric spacer. You usually see these on trailer hubs as they have a large center hole to fit over a large diameter axle center hub



A hub centric spacer has a center hub flange that protrudes beyond the width of the spacer so that the wheel hub can center on the protruding center hub flange of the spacer. Here is a picture of a hub centric spacer. Usually found on vehicle hubs that have a short center hub flange

 

Okay okay that much clearer! I'm more of a visual person. Haha but now I understand the difference. You guys definitely made it much clearer than what I was reading about. Thanks! TW members rock!
