Centre bore adaptors clio cup 182

[Jesster]

Hi sorry seen some of this has been covered before.

my question is though, basically I found some wheels I like but the centre bore on the wheels are 57.1mm where as my centre bore on the car is 60.1mm I believe?

So can I get centre bore adaptors or spigots that adapt and smallen from 60.1 to 57.1 so I can fit the wheels on?

Thank you.

So you want to put spigot rings on the hub to make the hub smaller....

 

[Jesster]

Yes, do they only make adaptors to make hub bigger then?

 

[JamesBryan]

...but the hub needs to be smaller, not bigger.

It's the centre bore of the wheels that need to be bigger.

 

[Jesster]

Yeah the centre bore of the wheels need to be bigger yes but there not on these ones I want lol. That's why I asked if there's adaptors?

What offset are the wheels?

Its possible to make adaptors, but you will drop the offset by about 20mm when you do it.

 

[JamesBryan]

There's no way you can make the hub bore smaller than it already is.

Not sure you have thought about this very well

If you cant do it then clearly this didnt happen?
Which is @lesley 's old car, which used 56.6 mm bore alloys on a mk1 clio with a 60.1mm original spigot then?

I made the adaptors from some hubcentric spacers, worked perfectly as the vauxhall wheels were a 49mm offset.
We used 25mm adaptors at the front and 20mm at the back IIRC (front is a bit narrow to start with on the mk1 so we increased it for that reason)

Thank you! This is what I am getting at! So you can get hubcentric spacers that allow smaller centre bore wheels to fit on bigger hub bores? Will I have to get some specifically made or is there a company that do 20mm hubcentric spacers that go on 60.1mm clio hubs but fit 57.1mm wheel centre bores?

Thanks.

Sorry did not see your post, the offset of the wheels are 25 and they are 7J width. 15" 4x100 with 57.1mm centre bore.

Im sure there are people who sell them already made, but we just used a set of VW spacers which we machined down to vauxhall on the outside and upto renault on the inside.

If you get some 57.1mm 20mm spacers and then bore the inside to 60.1 it will fit, although you might need to trip the spigot down a bit on the car for clearance depth wise.


But it depends on the offset of the wheels.

At 25mm offset, its going to be the same as running a 40 or so mm spacer as you will have the difference from that to the stock clio wheel PLUS the width of the adaptor.

It worked for me because we were doing it with wheels with a LARGER offset than we wanted, you though arent in that situation.

So I think in your case I would say its no doable, unless you want your wheels stuck out a very long way (on the back I just dont see how it would ever fit)

He could get the wheel bore done? rather than spacers.

But as you have mentioned all depends on the offset.

Thanks for you help, what a bummer! More hassle than it is worth really. Shame as try were nice wheels and came with nearly new tyres on and were cheaper than what I'm prepared to pay for new tyres on my current wheels.

Just stick with te turini's they look nice enough anyway!

Cheers
