Are aftermarket STEELIES ok for winter tires?

"Droid"..... Lol.

I never thought that this whole hubcentric thing would still be a "grey area" in which a buyer has "gotta double check" and "confirm if employee xyz actually clicked the right button". Some things never change.

It's not that difficult. Simply find some OEM wheels. There are millions of them out there, you could have found by now. And they are hub centric, and you can use the same lug nuts!

They say no adaptors are needed despite my '13 Camry being hubcentric and that there is no special concerns when mounting to car nor concerns about stud damage/stud risk.

NO concerns at all they say... totally interchangeable.

Your thoughts?


Thoughts are that they're correct. The steel wheels I purchased from Tire Rack for both of our cars are hub centric and fit perfectly.
