VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 spigot bushes ? wtf are they lol? Link to post Share on other sites
VRmonster 1 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 just little rings that seat over the centre bore so size down or up the hole a little. although the wheels should still fit without these. Link to post Share on other sites
dub_weiser 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Think they go around the center hubs to make the wheels fit snug Link to post Share on other sites
Nerih 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I had the exact same problems with my RH wheels ordered from germany.Naturally the problem was the pcd was different and the offset was too big (et60). Phoned up a RH dealer in the UK and he sold me proper RH adaptors.I know its a different company, but have you called BBS up, they might be able to sort you out with some proper adaptors?im guessing the pcd is 5x112, golf is 5x100, get some hubcentric adaptors if possible.

pete8tch 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 the wheels are all bored to a diameterthat fits anything then bushes are fitted ti reduce the bore to the correct application , they will still fit without but its gonna feel like ure driving over kerbs constantly .think the centre are around 70 mm so the bushes take up the difference and centre the wheels , i had to have some made for my rondells .

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 nooo, the bore on my wheel is smaller than on my hubs, can I still get these sorts of adaptors?Also, I've got an idea! useing universal fit wheel spacers..... these dont have the inner flange bit on em (I know it wont be hub centric, but still) anyone know where I can get 25mm universal spacers from quick sharp?I'll phone u later pete.Pete Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I could probably do away with 20mm until I get some others?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WHEEL-SPACERS-20-MM-5-STUD-BRAND-NEW-PAIR-UNIVERSAL_W0QQitemZ7993902447QQcategoryZ43120QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I wouldnt recommend using non centric spacers above 10mm max Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I just hope that guy from E38 forums gets my proper adaptors here ASAP, maybe then I can get them machines to size! otherwise, no wheels!anyone got any bricks I can borrow? Link to post Share on other sites
