Do you need Hubcentric Rings for Rotas?

I picked up a set of 17 x 9 Grids for m 04 WRX. Do I need hubcentric rings or did I just get the wrong size wheels? Does everyone run hub rings with their rotas? Thanks in advance.

Car Info: 2011 SWP WRX Hatch
Depends on the inner bore of the wheels. Subaru hubs are 56.1 and after a quick search it looks like the 17x9 grids are 73. So you might want to look into getting a set of 73 to 56.1 rings. They aren't extremely necessary, but they are a good idea.

Looks like they are $25 from Wheedude http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=295

I can explain the differences between hub centric and lug centric wheel mounting if you like, but, if it isn't necessary, I don't really want to get into it.

Naw. I appreciate the info. Kinda stinks that I didn't gt the heads up at the time of purchase. Seems like a big deal when everything rattles on the freeway. I dot really want to over torque my lugs to make it work either.
