Thom 1 Posted April 27, 2008 Hi, have bought a set of TSW Hockenhiems on ebay, they came from a Vauxhall Cavalier which shares the 4x100pcd with the VWs, however, the inside centre diameter is about 2mm less than it has to be to fit the car. Checking the model online shows that it should fit a corrado, is there any harm in filing this doen very slightly to get it on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valerian 0 Posted April 27, 2008 The centre diameter you refer to is known as the centre bore. Most aftermarket wheels have a very large centre bore which can be reduced by fitting the correct size spigot rings. If your wheels have spigot rings fitted then you need to source the correct size rings for your vehicle. If there are no spigot rings fitted and the centre bore is too small to fit your car then the wheels you have are never going to fit your car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
