You've just bought a stunning set of aftermarket wheels, but once installed—things aren’t quite right. The wheels rub. The steering vibrates. The look isn’t flush. Don’t worry—it’s not the wheels. It’s likely your wheel accessories that need attention.
At Torqen, we’ve helped thousands of customers fine-tune their fitment and avoid costly mistakes. Here are five of the most common wheel fitment issues, and how our high-quality accessories solve them like a pro.
🚫 Problem #1: Steering Wheel Vibrations at Speed
Cause: Wheels are not properly centered on the hub.
Solution: Use hub-centric rings to align the wheel perfectly.
Torqen stocks hub rings in dozens of bore combinations—precision-machined from aluminum or heat-resistant polycarbonate to eliminate high-speed wobble.

🚫 Problem #2: Rubbing Against Fenders or Coilovers
Cause: Wheels too close to suspension or bodywork.
Solution: Install wheel spacers to increase clearance.
🚫 Problem #3: Lug Nuts Don’t Seat Properly
Cause: Mismatch between lug nut seat type and wheel design (conical vs. ball vs. flat).
Solution: Choose correct seat-style lug nuts designed for your wheels.
🚫 Problem #4: New Wheels Won’t Fit Over Big Brakes
Cause: Not enough inner barrel clearance.
Solution: Add bolt-on spacers or select wheels with higher concavity.
🚫 Problem #5: TPMS Light On After Wheel Swap
Cause: Missing or incompatible TPMS sensors.
Solution: Install pre-programmed TPMS sensors compatible with your car.
