Are LX 450 Wheels Hubcentric?

[SCRunner12]

I just got my LX 450 wheels and BFG AT's balanced using a Hunter Road Force balanced and now my 4runner vibrates worse than before. I even told them to use the hubcentric adapter. Are LX 450 wheels hubcentric or did they just screw it up?

Even if they aren't, as long as you are using the tapered lug nuts, you should have no vibrations ... assuming they balanced correctly. I've had two mis-balances in the last year, so it's a huge possibility.

If I'm not mistaken they are hub-centric. I have them on my hub-centric spacers. Absalom has the right idea, just wrong lug nuts in mind. You need to use the OEM mag seat lug nuts with washers. They will center your wheel on the hub regardless.
Back when I had my LC80 wheels (which are hub centric as well) I had to use tapered style lug nuts, which I never liked. When I changed to the LX450 wheels they tried using the same lug nuts and they weren't cutting it. It wouldn't seat the wheel on the hub right and causing to much play.

here's what I mean

My guess, unless you're using the wrong lug nuts, they just screwed up somewhere...

BTW, what do you mean by using the hub-centric adapter?

I'm using the tapered lug nuts, just like the stock lug nuts for our 4runners. I'm going back tomorrow to see if it is any better.

I was under the impression there was an adapter for the Road Force balancer for hub centric wheels. I might be wrong, but I thought there was.

Here is the adapter I was thinking about. http://www.4runners.org/writeups/haweka/index.html
