MULTIFITS DONT FIT ?

[peter1.2clio]

New to the forum so I thought id start off with my first problem.

Currently have a 52 plate 1.2 clio xtreme

Running stanard alloys but I recently bought some multifit ones second hand and they dont fit ?

They are 15inch and just dont fit? I then was told by a friend that there is 2 types of multifit, can anyone direct me to somewhere I can buy PCD adapters/spacers that will make these fit? I dont know much about these but they are the multifit alloys that dont fit a clio lol?

On the back/inside of the alloy they are markings that say ;

15x6.5
et 38


8/60


eg/23

REALLLLYY want these to fit my car slowly getting it looking good after having it for months and this is annoying me!!


Thanks & what do you drive?!?!:evil:

A wee bit more information .. I have been looking at it seems you can get 5 stud multifits or 4 stud multifits so I must have 5 stud ones right ?

Does that mean a 4 x 100 to 5 x 100 spacer would work ?

Aka this one :

Need more info on what wheels you have mate to see if they can be made to dit

 

[peter1.2clio]

Thats the only information I have is there 15" multifit ripspeed alloys that dont fit 4 x 100 PCD, so im guessing they would fit 5 x 100 PCD?

which means I can buy 4 x 100 PCD to 5 x 100 PCD wheel spacers?

 

[Mark_P]

lets get the basics sorted first - do they have five holes in them?

I really wish people would grasp this concept.

 

[peter1.2clio]

I dont know how this helps really , there multifit alloys that dont fit 4 x 100 PCD
they must be multifits for 5 x 100, 5 x 108 ect im guessing?

 

[Heez]

Im assuming you tried to turn them another 45 degrees to see if the other four holes would fit?

 

[pastieman]

They will fit a car with 4 bolts or studs

 

[Fraser.J.]

They're 4 stud (well 8, hence multi fit) I would imagine they're 4x100 and 4x108 so they should fit, do you have spigot rings to allow them to fit? They would centre the wheel and let you line up the correct 4.

 

[peter1.2clio]

Yes, multiple times.

This is why im finding a problem. No I don't have spigots yet i was trying them on to see how they looked and straight up dont fit.

 

[105e]

Does the center hole fit over the clio spigot?

 

[Heez]

Can you measure the holes? Do that centre to centre and post up what the sizes are.

There will be two different sizes.

could be jap. 114.3 and 108

easy to check with a tape measure

 

[peter1.2clio]

Wheels are currently with car in the lock up. I can jump up early bells tomorrow to measure them, whats the best way to go about it ?

and yes the wheel does sit on the hub (with some amount of leeway of course due to not having spigots, was just trying them on still to get refurbed in matt blue)

I dont think ripspeed is a jap company though?

 

[DanEdser]

I dont think ripspeed is a jap company though?

because they arent jap, doesnt mean they cant make jap fitment

 

[peter1.2clio]

because they arent jap, doesnt mean they cant make jap fitment

I see your point, but highly doubt it.. was told they would fit corsa, clio & fiesta .. doesn't seem like it .. ive changed wheels plenty before so i dont think im doing anything wrong .. i mean umm what can you do wrong lmao

 

[DanEdser]

guessing spigot rings would help you align it though... try getting hold of some?

can you not even get 2 bolts in?

Got 1 bolt in and played about moving it, re aligning it ect no luck , I havn't slept in a good 24hours so that could be the problem (human error) but I doubt it .. I'm goani pop down to see it after work in 9hours

Ill re-post any updates, great help so far

 

[Fraser.J.]

If you can only get on in it might be you are the wrong set, turn it by one hole and try again!

 

[peter1.2clio]

From what i remember i did try every hole on the alloy , but i was mega tired and rushing and burst my hand open (blood everywhere) so i might of missed the next hole and got the one after (the wrong pcd ones) i dunno but ill have a look tomorrow could just be because i dont have spigots and i cant align them correctly myself?

ill keep you's updates tomorrow

I'd just be glad they don't fit. They're dreadful.

No your ment to say that after he has spent hundreds on adapters for them to fit lol

Can't believe 25 posts and you still haven't got a f**king tape measure.

 

[Andyk1801]

I used to run a set of 17s on my old clio Grandè 1.2 without spigot rings.. Never had a problem fitting them but as soon as you took the bolts out they fell off, never balanced on.. But they looked pimp! :S lol

 

[Alex H]

Why go to all the trouble of seeing if they'll fit. Just get a decent set instead.

 

[Pulsator]

Probs dont fit down to lack of sleep and not having spigot rings,

73.1 > 60.1 spigots arnt they ??

But as someone stated could well be 4x108/114.3

 

[MartinR]

Bin em

 

[Chip-mk1]

Measure the distance between the holes, and measure the diameter of the centre bore.
