Title: Spigot rings - HELP!
Post by: uk_stu on August 30, 2010, 11:01:28 am

Hi,

I've bought myself a set of bbs CH reps for my 1.6SE, I've just been to trial fit the wheel on the car and i need spigot rings...

This is where it gets interesting!!!

The Bore size of the rear hub is 57mm
The Bore size of the wheel is approx 74mm

I Cannot seem to find any spigot rings which cater for this amount of difference!!!

Can anybody shed some light or will i need to go to an engineering company and get some custom spigots made up?

I've noticed on the box that the centre bore of the wheel is actually 73.1mm
