Are Spigot ring necessary? as the bore on my Saab wheels are approx 2mm bigger than the ford hubs. Will this cause any problems?
Thanks Robin

Really yes. You may get away with it... but I wouldnt risk it as the studs aren't designed for lateral pressure.

Not needed at all, all the vertical force it taken ny the mating face, not the fit between the center bore and the hub nose.
Many cars didnt even have hubcentric wheels as standard.
All hubcentic does is make it easier to line up the bolt holes when you fit your wheels.

I would also like to add that there is no lateral force on the studs either unless the wheel nuts are loose, if your wheels are bolted on and the mating face between the wheel and brake can slide then you've got other issues!
5 stud vw, early porshe etc and probably lots of other cars are a million miles from hubcentric.
The nsu wheels on my ghia arent hubcentric, infact, ive seen more cars that arent than are but that probably just says something about my/my friends cars than anything else ;D.
You've got studs aint you? In that case, you wont even have to faff around lining up bolt holes while resting wheels on your feet.

Personally, I wouldnt take the risk on leaving wheels 'lugcentric', just because you tighten the bolt/nuts up in the correct order, doesn't mean this will automatically centre the wheels in their entirety. Its less to do with lateral forces and more to do ith centring your wheels to the hub.
I've used spigot rings on the Mercedes fitment wheels on my A8, better safe than sorry.

I guess it depends if you have taper nuts or not.
If the bolts arent in the right place so the wheels not central, its probably best not having hubcentic wheels. If the hub center it trying to hold the wheel in one place, and the wheel nuts are trying to pull it somewhere else, that cant be good.
Might be an issue with sleeve bolts though, is there a little sideways play with them? (before the wheel is tightened).

Prob because the wheels are slightly off-centre. Would create a frequency at speed, much the same a vibration module in a mobile phone, its just an offset weight spun at speed that causes the vibration. Similar to not having your wheels balanced, you get a 'high' spot on the wheel because of not being central.

If thats the problem then get some spigot rings made.
If it has taper bolts then it must mean the wheels drilled wrong?

I have cars without even any "key" for the centre hole. At least on the back thats the case on many I've had, and some the front is just a grease cap, when removed its a relief not a lip...
I've never had spigot rings and I'e never had a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky.
