richie_stix Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Looked on the bay first... but they seem well expensive for just a pair! i want to expand my track by about 10/15 mm or so, but don't want dreaded wheel wobble! looked at rally design and i could only see spacer/shims, not hubcentric jobs?

V8ian Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 you should not need rings to locate your wheel,your wheel nuts should locate the wheel concentricly, either by using sleeve nuts or taper nuts, those plastic rings are for wheels with bolts rather than studs so you get the wheel concentric to the hub and are able to get the bolts into the hub!!
richie_stix Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 sweet! saves some hassel! anyone know of good value spacers?.. preferably not egay!

vibrating_Cake Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 you should not need rings to locate your wheel,your wheel nuts should locate the wheel concentricly, either by using sleeve nuts or taper nuts, those plastic rings are for wheels with bolts rather than studs so you get the wheel concentric to the hub and are able to get the bolts into the hub!! the thing is the pug wheels he has got on have FLAT SEATS, they are not concave seats, and sleeve nuts only do so much, one of the reasons i sold my old pug wheels also... you want some peugeot hubcentric spacers AND spigot rings to get anywhere near centralised with those wheels.... horrible design!!! just leave it be and get some spigot rings
richie_stix Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 already have the spigots... just wanted a bit more track width for little buck ya know... sounds like good advice, cheers vibro!
bangar Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I bought vibrating cake's old pug wheels, and to be honest not had any problems, v8ians right in saying they use the studs and nuts to make them centralised on my mk2 cortina they cant be hub centric. I used flat sleeve nuts with longer studs, all i did was cut abit of the nut off facing the hub (because the nut bottoms out on the stud). But im only spacing 5mm on rear.
