Title: Spigot ring for bbs ch
Post by: Baz300 on July 18, 2012, 07:17:24 am

I got a set of genuine bbs ch's in 18" last night but they didn't come with spigot rings

What size of rings do I need to order?

The wheels are 8x18 et50 if that makes any difference

You need to know what centre bore the wheels are and then order some to take it from that size to 57.1mm IIRC.

genuine bbs ch are 57mm centre bore IIRC.

try here for good plastic ones www.customspigotrings.co.uk

Otherwise the BBS ones are about £50

i only think the VZs have a centre bore of 57.1mm

to be honest, if you're putting them on a 5x112 car you don't really need spigots (tho you might get some wheel wobble without them)

best thing would be to contact one of the official BBS sellers (i advise PW Motorsport) and they'll supply you with the correct spigots

I have sent bbs an email asking for the center bore.

There is quite a difference in the center bore as it is hard to line up the wheel when fitting to the car

I'll probably just go for the plastic spigot rings

SOrry.. OEM bore is 57.1
BBS CH026 (the 19x8 wheel) I think is 82mm

Bbs only gave me the part no of the rings I need. They won't tell me the note size.

I managed to get a set of rings for £37 deliverd from rimstyle
