OK, i have some new rims and the stud pattern is fine, BUT the hub center thing is bigger on the rims are bigger then what is on the car and i would need a 17mm locator to fill in the gap. What i would like to know is that:

Is it alright just to let the rim sit on the studs or does it need the hub thing to rest on as well?

Is it legal to do that?

Would i need to get the locator machined? and where?

If not, where can i find them?

 

Over all if just letting it sit on the studs is ok and wont do it any harm is what i really want to know.

 

Thanks. :P

 

I'll answer any questions if i can.

Yo can get locating rings from your local wheel shop.

Also i forgot to put in:

Locator dimensions are:

Outside diametre 77mm

Inside diametre 60mm

 

Sorry my mistake.

and the local wheel shops we all checked only make up to 73mm on the outside so no luck so far. :P
