Default spigots and Godspeeds.....

Folks...

I have godspeed 335mm disks fitted to my car and I've a problem..

The spigots fitted on the inside of my aerospeed alloys have an inner chamfer - this chamfer is wider than the amount of 56mm hub that pokes through the centre of the godspeed disk.

Does anyone else have this problem (or a solution)....

Should I be fitting 55mm i/d spigots, so that the non-chamfered part sits on the outer part of the hub, or 56.1mm (the 'correct' size) without a chamfer (and can these be bought anywhere ?)

Thanks,

Mark

Surely the wheel nuts are enough to centre the wheel???

apparently not - the wheel should sit on the hub - the wheel studs hold the wheel on, not support the weight of the car (or centre the wheel)....

I've run these disks for a year, but always find that the wheel balance goes off if the wheel is removed at any time - but comes back OK when the wheels are re-balanced - though the previous to last time, the spigots were replaced and that seemed to cure it (though I don't know what they were replaced with !) - I had new tyres last week and they've 'lost' one of the spigots, so replaced them with the 56.1 mm ones - and I can;t get above 50 without wheel vibrations - even though they've been balanced twice in two days !!!!

Sounds like you need to get something machined up then....?? how much clearance do you have on the spokes?? maybe you could get the bells reduced in thickness??
