Hi guys, I'm purchasing after market off road wheels for the lc200 and am a little stuck up on the bore size. I know it is 110.0mm for the Lc200. I have found one wheel where the bore size is 110.2mm. I was wondering if I'd need hub centric rings or something else to make sure there are no vibrations. I'm not even sure if 0.2 mm really even makes a difference.
Does the bore size matter (1 Viewer)

With mismatched bore, the wheel will be resting purely on the lug nuts. I would absolutely not be okay with that on a 6000lb vehicle, especially off road.
How much of an issue is 0.2mm? I don’t know. Doubt you’ll find rings that thin. This gap may be within the realm of acceptable tolerances, and my gut feeling is that this particular gap is just fine.

Not a problem from my experience using aftermarket wheels for a long time.
Bore centric is a good thing for foolproof wheel installation. No matter how you do it, can't really do it wrong. (leave it to users to find a way) 110.2 is effectively bore centric. Note that it's a feature to help mount wheels. Once lugs are torqued, the load is not carried by the bore.
Lug centric relies on proper wheel installation procedure to accurately center. That is lugs should be tightened progressively and in a star pattern. Because wheel loads are not reliant on a bore lip, this is still a safe wheel fitment with properly torqued lugs.

That is the correct bore size for the 110.00 mm lc200.
The wheel bore is slightly larger so it does not need to be press fitted on the hub. They are usually larger by 0.1 or 0.2mm.
