Re: spigot ring's .... advice anyone .

Personally preferred your old wheels but that just my opinion, i like the new ones but just think the older ones looked better, less fussy and made the car look more streamlined so did i mate but i could not have them on any longer , it was a death trap the adaptors were warped , the car was vibrat...

Re: spigot ring's .... advice anyone .

You will be fine with out spigot rings the worst you may get is a vibration if the wheel is not perfectly centred On of my old race car had no part that stuck out of the hub for the wheel to sit on and this was fine for about 3 years of racing no oval bolt hols no loose wheels ect ect But they do m...

Re: spigot ring's .... advice anyone .

i'v used plastic spigot rings with no issues before, like you said they only center the wheel really, would advise getting some as soon as possible though as you run the risk of maybe breaking a bolt or bolts coming loose due to the wheel not being centered properly without the spigot rings, if the...

depending on who you want to listen to we are either heading for warming or an ice age. Back in the 70's it was an ice age and then they decided the data was wrong and its global warming. I do remember seeing something similer in 2010/11 before winter and yip we did have a cold one. 2011/12 was a w...

Did you fit them or did someone else do it? Iv not tackled the front arms as of yet on mine, but I'm pretty sure the arms have to be tightened up once the car is back on the ground, if new springs and shocks haven't been fitted then the higher ride hight could be the extra tension in the bushes hol...

Re: offset help ...

The ET needs to be higher in value to gain more tuck. ET35 will be just inside the arch. Any plans to lower and you will have issues with wheel scrub. Not so much the rears, but definitely the fronts! ET45 recommended for the front if you require a good tuck! ET35 is fine for the rear, possibly eve...
