Default MT Sidebiter centerbore?

Wondering if anyone could help me out here. Google and forum searched and couldn't get definite answers. Looking at getting hub centric rings for this wheel and can't find the outer diameter. Possibly saw something that said 110 mm, but I can't confirm that. I am one armed at the moment so I can't lift the spare off and measure. Thought maybe I can get lucky and find someone who has already done this with the same wheel!? They are 17x9 and ride like poo since the moment I put them on. Found a good psi to run, but bumps are the issue. I appreciate the help and this fails I will contact the manufacturer with a white flag waving.

Just wondering if you can explain in a little more specific detail about what your issue is, and what it is caused by? I don't have any answers for you, but I am considering buying these and would love to hear your feedback before doing so.

Cheers!

I contacted the mickey thompson tech dept. and they said that it was not necessary to use the rings with this wheel and vehicle. So I moved my attention to the tire. I lowered the psi down to 32.

My issue was just an all around rough ride and a lot of movement in my pedals over bumps. I thought maybe the hubs had too large of a gap and caused the wheels to rotate oblongly rather than a circle pattern. According to M/T that wasn't the case. By re-balancing and lowering the pressure I was able to soften the ride. As of now the ride is much better, but I can still feel slight movement over rough roads. I may go lower but don't want to go too low and suck up all my gas. Hope this helps in anyway.
