Spigot rings or hub centric rings are mounted on the inside of the wheel rims in the hub centric. They ensure that the rims fit seamlessly with the hub of the car. This is necessary to prevent annoying vibrations while driving. Not all cars have the same hubs. For this reason, rim manufacturers have made the hub holes larger on the rims they produce. A larger hub hole means that they will fit on multiple car brands and type of vehicles. However, the chance that there is a gap between the hub and the rim is quite big. So, this is where spigot rings come in handy. Centering rings are required to properly fill this space. In general, hub centric rings are made of plastic.
What size spigot rings do I need?
To find out which spigot rings are suitable for your car, you need a tape measure or calliper gauge. You will have to measure the ?hole? of the wheels and the hub diameter. Do you use a tape measure? Then we recommend that you start measuring at 10 centimetres so that you measure more accurately. After you measured the hole in the wheel, you will need to measure the hub diameter.
Now, a simple calculation follows. The difference between the two sizes you just measured, must be filled by spigot rings. An example: is the wheel hole 60.1 mm (outer diameter) and the hub diameter 54.1 mm (inner diameter)? Then the space between these two must be filled. However, it is very important that you measure accurately. Take your time and repeat the measurement a number of times. At Winparts, you can then simply select the outside diameter and the inside diameter. The suitable spigot rings for your car will then be displayed.
Fitting spigot rings
Now that you have found the suitable spigot rings, all you have to do is mount them on your rims. Fortunately, fitting hub centric rings is a job that you can certainly do yourself. First of all, make sure you clean the rims well. You can do this with a good wheel cleaner. If you do not clean the surfaces with a good wheel cleaner, there is a chance that the spigot rings will no longer fit perfectly. Then place the hub centric ring at the rear in the rim. Often you can easily insert it or click it in. Now you can easily mount the rim on the wheel again.
