Astro Boy Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited October 14, 2008 by Astro Boy Quote
Trev Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Yo can get locating rings from your local wheel shop. Quote
Astro Boy Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Posted October 14, 2008 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 Quote
