Superleggeras and spigot rings

Cheers Pushki. But if the lude is 64.1mm already why do I need spigot rings?

Hi jay, I never had them fitted with spigots, sorry.

The studs locate the wheel in the centre of the hub and when you tighten down the nuts they will sit bang on.

If the wheels were bolted onto the hubs then spigots would be needed to centre the wheel prior to bolting up.

I never had any issue or vibrations with the wheels as they were but if you want the extra piece of mind then get a set. Sizes required? No idea, sorry. Sounds like your getting some sound advice though.

Check the 5th wheel I got as a replacement has the same bore as the rest though.

the size, width, pcd and offset are the same but you never know about the bore.

In the time I had them I never noticed that spigots were required but please check for reassurance.

Cheers bud. Yeah I've been looking around, but I can't see why I'd need spigot rings if the wheel bore is already the same as the hub. There wouldn't even be space to fit it.

I think the original (damaged) wheel isn't perfectly round so I'll need to use the spare one. Don't think I measured that one

Will need to later!

Damn, the spare one is about 75mm lol. I'll need to have the original one checked to make sure it's round, it's in better condition than the new one (paint wise).

I think all the original ones have Oz spigot rings stuck in them.

If the bore diameter is the same as the hub then you wont need them.

Only if the centre bore of the wheel is greater you would need them if you wanted.
I never even noticed as the wheel centred on the studs like I said so I'm not much use.

Did you get them refurbed?

Dave.

My Oz wheels had a larger bore size. Maybe yours will fit straight on.

If they don't, definitely get some spigots. I wouldn't recommend fitting the wheels without them.

Yeah I wouldn't fit them without spigots. At the moment only one needs one, however I don't know the exact size it needs, it's around 75mm.

Dave - No yet no, however my current tyres are very, very low so I just need to get these on asap. I gave them a clean, they're not bad at all actually so they'll be ok until I either need new tyres or I just have the tyres removed and get it done. Might get the original damaged one tested to make sure it's ok to use.

So you only need the one ring now?

Yeah it could just be the lip thats not totally round on the damage/repaired one.
See what they say.
I would try get the one spigot for the 5th wheel I tracked down instead though if that's all that's required.
