OK I'll get them. But I went to less Schwab and thru didn't carry any centering rings for the bbs Lm. I believe I may have to order them from bbs. I'm going to try to find a way to get my hands on some.

YOU DONT NEED RINGS!
Rings are for wheel bores that are too big. Yours are too small. Just bore the wheel to the size of the hub.
It wouldnt make sense to bore it too big, then get rings to fill it back in...get it?

Rings aren't specific to a wheel, they are based on the hub size/bore of wheel and car.
The only reason I said bore to 73 and get rings is so that you won't have problems selling these in the future.

Ohhh okay I understand. So I don't need rings bc I am boring out the wheels so it fits over my hub. and rings are for bores that are too big. But isn't 73 larger than or stock front and rear bore?

It was a typo on my part. Bore them either to 70 front 63 rear OR You can just do 70 on all 4 and you don't need to bother with rings for the two wheels on the rear. That would also let you rotate the wheels if you run a square tire setup.

Correct, but you have to be VERY careful about tightening them down bit by bit in a star pattern. Do it while partially jacked so the weight of the car isn't resting on the rims / studs or else you'll gall the studs and / or destroy the lug nuts.
