What is a Hub Adapter?
This hub adapter allows for the installation of aftermarket steering wheels with a 6 bolt mounting pattern from brands like OMP, MOMO, Sparco, Nardi, etc. onto the 91-98 Toyota MR2. This hub adapter also is required when installing a quick release system as it will not work without one.
This wheel hub adapter comes in either a single-piece or two-piece design depending on the vehicle and/or wheel that is being installed. To select the proper hub adapter, enter in the vehicle’s hub diameter as indicated on your factory wheel (this can be sourced from your dealer steering wheel short hub OR measured with micrometers or calipers by local machine shops). Wheel stud size is entered next, this can be sourced from your wheel, OR determined by the hub centric measurement of the adapter.
Thickness of the adapter is simply to determine how far out the wheel will be, a thicker hub adapter will push your wheel out further, similar to using a wheel spacer. NRG short hubs are designed so that when paired with the quick release steering kit, your aftermarket steering wheel will not sit too close to the driver. They are made of the highest quality aluminum, utilizing one piece solid construction for maximum durability.
