Spigot Ring Tolerances

[Tim]

Right

As part of my bongo wheel wobble issues been looking at replacement wheels should mine be borked - or if i need to centre the existing ones to isolate that as an issue...

If i needed to take a spigot of 67.1 up to a 70mm CB alloy, these would need to be 1.45mm thick ring of metal (is this even feasible for a spigot ring?)

What sort of tlerance do you generally need to work to so that you can centre the wheels whilst still actually being able to fit the ring to the hub and then fit the wheel?

Cheers

You can get them made to that dimension, but a few turns of leccy tape will get you close enough - Most wheels are usually more than a MM out of round, and tyres way worse.

Re your other post - If you swapped your wheels for a known good set and it made no difference i think you are wasting your time and money chasing down this path to be honest.

True - but I'm also a bit concerned that the steels may not have been centred as well as the centre bore of one wheel was bigger than the other (it was a spare which is different due to the way it hangs underneath)

I couldnt get the car fully up to speed (bloody traffic) so couldnt say for certain but the wheel was starting to shake at 60+

Hi, if the steel wheels have tapered wheel nuts, which they normally are. Those are centreing the wheel not the centre bore. The same goes for the alloys, although they could be either tapered or sleeve nuts.
