Alloy wheels

[LongJohnIbiza]

A mate of mine has offered me some alloy wheels off (I think!) a megane for nothin if i want them. At the minute i just have steel 13's so obviously i wud like these. Anyway, I took the old wheel off and fitted the new one, and the studs seem to line up, only the part of the hub in the centre which sticks out and the wheel sits on too (Im sure theres a proper name) seems to be a tad too small. ie, the wheel can wobble about a bit if the studs aren't in. Is this bad, does this matter, anything I can do?

Need some spigot rings mate, not sure what size though. Im sure one of the guru's knows.

OK, cheers
Anyone else got any advice bout spigot rings?

you could use spigot rings to fit them , ibiza center bore is 57.1 i think , unsure of what a meganes is , but my old ats cups were machined to fit a bmw 3 series and they were slighlty wobbly when there were no bolts in , but when i put the bolts in and torqed them up they were fine , i didnt use spigot rings , as i didnt seem like i needed them , i drove around with the cups on for almost a year without a problem

i drove around without spigot rings for a while, you only notice the difference at high speeds but it is safe to get them...

look on ebay, ive had a look online and the size i think you should need is 60.1 - 57.1
thats if the alloys fitted snuggly without spigot rings onto the megane

Thanks mate, that helps. But i think il bring the wheel into work tomorrow and measure the inside with calipers just to be sure. Then il know for certain which spigot rings to buy! But ur probably rite!!

if they were a proper fit on the megane then it'll definitely be 60.1, measure it anyway just to be sure but remember that you'll need something really accurate because the centres are measured to a tenth of a mm lol

 

[LongJohnIbiza]

Don't u worry!! Il measure it down to a hundredth of a mm!!

 

[abhardwaj1990]

lol good man

You work in an engineering based place??

Well I work at a place were we fix tractors, so I can get my hands on a set of vernier calipers
