One or more protrusions may extend from a hub centering portion of a centering ring.
Claims36
A track widening system for motor vehicles, comprising:
- a) a track widening disc having a central opening;
- and
- b) a centering ring for insertion into an opening of a wheel and for insertion into said central opening of said track widening disc,
- wherein said centering ring comprises a collar at a rear side, a retention portion adjacent to said collar, and a rim centering portion at a front side,
- wherein an inner surface of said retention portion of said centering ring comprises a hub centering portion with at least one protrusion extending inward therefrom,
- wherein a portion of said rim centering portion of said centering ring projects beyond a front side of said track widening disc.
A track widening system for motor vehicles, comprising:
- a) at least two track widening discs, wherein each of said at least two track widening discs comprises a central opening;
- and
- b) a plurality of centering rings for insertion into said central opening of each of said at least two track widening discs,
- wherein each of said plurality of centering rings comprises a collar at a rear side, a retention portion adjacent to said collar, and a rim centering portion at a front side,
- wherein an inner surface of said retention portion of each of said plurality of centering rings comprises a hub centering portion with a plurality of protrusions extending radially inward therefrom,
- wherein a portion of said rim centering portion of each of said plurality of centering rings projects beyond a front side of said at least two track widening discs, said rim centering portion for insertion into an opening of a wheel,
- wherein an outer diameter of said retention portion of each of said plurality of centering rings is the same and wherein an outer diameter of said rim centering portion of at least two of said plurality of centering rings is different, and
- wherein a thickness of at least two of said at least two track widening discs is different, and wherein each of said plurality of centering rings can be arranged in said central opening of each of said at least two track widening discs.
A centering ring for insertion into an opening of a wheel and for insertion into a central opening of a track widening disc, said centering ring comprising a collar at a rear side, a retention portion adjacent to said collar, and a rim centering portion at a front side, wherein an inner surface of said retention portion comprises a hub centering portion and wherein an outer surface of said rim centering portion is conical.
