Spigot rings back and front to bring centre bore down from 82mm (ACS) to 72.5 (BMW) - no spacers on front and 20mm bolt-on hub adapters on rear.

 

[Craig Giblett]

Many thanks for getting back to me.

I'll order spigot rings from AC as have spacers already.

Thanks,
Craig

What make of alloys are you fitting?

 

[Craig Giblett]

I've a set of ACs like above now for my car.

Absolute bargain that I couldn't miss so I'll get them refurbed then fitted.

Will shortly be advertising my old wheels for sale

I got the orange spigot rings as recommended by Lorcan - AC Schnitzer UK. When fitting the AC Schnitzer Alloys on the rears - I had to order 22mm lug bolts (instead of using the standard 26mm bolts) for the rears - to fit with the depth of the 20mm hub adapters ensuring a snug fit and torque of the wheel bolts and ensuring an adequate number of turns of the bolts into the hub (9.5 turns in my case). Hope this makes sense.

Will you be running spacers or hub adapters on the rear @Davyhoogy ?

Jim - Initially I had bought them for my car then I ran into the problem of lining up the wheel and hub bolt holes - I thought I had been sold a set of wheels that did not fit my car, until recently, when Forum members helped me get a solution - spigot rings. I am hoping to confirm they fit a Z3 early next week then I will take it from there. I would not want to sell the alloys to someone if they are not fit for purpose.

Hi, I realise this is a very old post but there is no clear conclusion, did you sell them?
