Fitting kit for alloys!

[Dansta]

ok what is this? sorry dumb question?

i know you get em for steerin wheels, but if im gettin 37mm offset wheels for me cup, i wont need em will i?

Fitting kits are more for universal wheels (tsw,etc). You can get a different diameter ring to put in the wheel center to change the hub fitment, this is just a plastic ring which pushes in and can be changed.

Also some companies relate a fitting kit to - wheel bolts / nuts (ford use a dome shaped nut for alloys and flat for steel wheels), locking nuts / bolts

if thee wheels youre getting are the correct PCD and Offset then you wont need a fitting kit

 

[Dansta]

offset is 37mm which im told is ideal, i dont know what PCD is?

 

[Robby]

Pitch Diameter Circle - how far apart the bolt holes are

Danny, theyre ET37 4x100 PCD

The fitting kit for SuperLs consists of 4 centre rings (have to be specifically for Renault) and 16 shinny new wheel bolts

THANKS FRED! So everyone who has bought Supers need the plastic fitting rings yeah? and do renault sell em? but i can use my normal nuts from my old wheels tho cant i?

 

[Dave]

I didnt need a kit when i bought my Super Ts?!

 

[Robby]

the rings should have been supplied with the wheels, maybe there already in the wheel centres? , theyre not renault parts

they are called spigot rings aint they. and yes you do need them. I fitted the wheels without them at first and the car didnt run "true". As soon as they were fitted th car ran like a dream.

If you buy some without them get your local alloy wheel firm to order you a set, shouldnt cost more than about £10, if that.
