Centering Rings are they Needed?
Ok so I just put my new wheels and tires on today. I got enkei rpf1's 17x9 all the way around with 255/40/17 all the way around. Jim at tire rack was telling me that with the centering rings the rear wheels would not fit on the front but they do, so i have no idea if i have them on there right. Do i even need centering rings? Also ive seen plenty of people with 17x9 all the way around and their wheels dont stick out from the fenders. On mine the rear is fine however the front stick out from the fender about a cm is this because of the centering rings? I think tire rack didnt give me the right rings for the front any insight would be much appreciated thanks!

Wrong section. But 17x9 front do stick out past the f. fenders w/o rings. No rings needed. Once all of the lugs are snug, bolt the wheels down using a star pattern.

The centering rings are not necessary. You can go without them. The rings are there to help make it easier to properly mount the rim to the hub. The rings will help eliminate any play between the hub and rim while you put the lug nuts back on.
