Every OEM wheel I've ever seen is hub centric, whereby the lug nuts or studs just screw in and are torqued. The wheel is perfectly centered and mated, and there you go. I was surprised to see my '18 OEM wheels are lug centric, with conical lugs and require 150 lb ft to install. This is 50 lbs more than most other cars. Even more so, I was surprised to see that hub centering rings, metal or plastic, are NOT recommended for street driving. Most aftermarket wheels are lug centric, and most OEM wheels are hub centered- why did Ford decide on LC instead?
