The hub-centric rings arrived today!
I learned two things.
First, my hubs are definitely 66.9mm.
Second, my rims have a 66.9mm center bore.
The place I'd measured 2-7/8" was a generous taper down to the requisite 66.9mm and not a bore of 73.1mm.
The centric rings did not fit at all, so I popped off the center cap, torqued the lug nuts and stuck a feeler gauge down there between the bore and the hub. Just barely a race-fit!
With the front right foot in the air I checked to see if there was a high spot. Nope.
It's been the damn tires all along and procrastinators are people who are WAY more ambitious than me about fixing things.
Again, I was able to put it off for so long by sticking to the back roads and not going very far from home.
I am so damned happy with the car now, it's indescribable!
