Default Hub Centric Wheels

I've finally picked out some ProComp 1069 wheels for my Jeep. They are similar to the American Eagle 186 wheels. The specs say they are not hub centric. Anyone running wheels that are not hub centric and having any problems? I see that there are hub centric adapters available. Worth it?

Get the adapters. It doesnt matter if your wheels say hubcentric or not, your JK REQUIRES hubcentric. Get the adapters.

I am running non-hubcentric wheels, and I did not know that they are 'required". Could you elaborate?

Well, there was many thread on this topic, if you use the good lug tightening pattern that should not be a problem.

Moreover, I order D60 axles and ask Currie if I should get hub centric wheel, they answered no. So I don't think hub centric wheel are required for the D44/D30 neither.

if you look here there is helpful information to tighten a wheel, may be obvious but the tips they gave are not necessary followed by every one.

With most hub centric adapters, the center cap will not fit. Usually you use one or the other.
