Hello All,

Just bought a set of the above for my tech 2. Not all of them have spigot rings. Could do with a bit of friendly advice from somebody that has done this before.

Could do with an idea of what length wheelbolts/ studs I need to get?
What spigots? How many spacers, if required? and most importantly of all, where from? and how much?

Thanks alot in anticipation of any response?

Regards

They should have a spigot ring on each wheel but if you have 2 or 3 then put the wheels without spigots on the rear until you get some.
You won't need spacers or longer wheel bolts if they are the correct fitment for an e30.

As Spadge said, no spacers or longer wheel bolts as long as they are the right offset (et20)

You really need tight fitting spigot rings though or they'll wobble like fuck.

I've got a new set on my touring with nice tight spigots and they run nice and true.

Cheers,
