Can I drive without hub centric rings?
While it is more likely that the wheel will be off center without the use of hub centric rings, it is not impossible to center the wheel by following proper installation technique. If you don’t use hub centric rings, you transfer the weight of the vehicle to the lug hardware, and the wheel studs will break.
How do I know if I need hub centric rings?

Are hub centric wheel spacers safe?
The load from a wheel is transferred to the axle/hub through the friction of the clamped joint, not through the wheel stud. A wheel stud can only bend if the lug nuts are not properly torqued, in which case the wheel is about to fall off, anyway. Therefore, properly installed wheel spacers are perfectly safe.
Do wheel spacers wear bearings?
