chriswoodfto Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 just picked up my rotas from metro centre ( thats car park color system is absolute shit.lol) they didnt have nay spiggot rings with them, do i need a particular set? or will any spiggot rings do? also there et 45 do i need a 2mm spacer or will they be ok as i believe there only 2mm out, (form what ive read on here) there 15's if that info is needed. cheers guys, Quote
chriswoodfto Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 did abit more reading, need a 10mm spacer by the looks of it, will they be fine with a 10mm spacer? my last car rubbed and i cant be bothered with that again, cheers guys. Quote
chriswoodfto Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 looked into it abit further, been on rotas website, they only made rota grids in 15" 4 x 100, et 40. so back to my sort of origional question, will they fit without rubbing?? or do i now need a 5mm spacer, or 3mm spacer. cheers.

Starlet__SR Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Look on the back of the alloy, it should have an ET ** number, as for the spigot rings, you can get a fitting kit from your local halfords.Damien Quote
chriswoodfto Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 yep definately et 40, 6.5 " wide, so chances of them fitting without spacers and no rubbing, the tyres are 195's. Quote
Starlet__SR Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Should be fine, I think the speedlines are ET38's, I run 195's with some tein lowering springs and experience no rubbing.Damien Quote
Bean Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 im sure my rota jmags are 15"x7" et40 with 195/45 tyres and they only slightly catch when on bumpy sharp corners but thats only because my front end is pretty low and i havent finished adjusting my coilovers yet to sort it out. Quote
Starlet__SR Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Was gonna say, find out for yourself, stop fannying about lolDamien Quote
BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Dude, just put them on and go for a drive.. itl take 15/20 mins max.Mitch Quote
chriswoodfto Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 lol. i know thats the best option, ive got a 7week old little girl getting 20mins to test that aint easy at the mo. ill remain positive and have a go tomoro, need to re-spray the lips on them as the chrome has gone cloudy, Quote
BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Ah fair enough. Thats the best way though. Could you not polish the lip?Mitch Quote
Starlet__SR Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Not tried repolishing them? Autosol perhaps?Damien Quote
chriswoodfto Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 it looks like somethings eaten away at the chrome/shiny lip on it, so think it may need rubbing down and re-spraying to be honest. unless that autosol would work on that do you think?? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Anything normally comes up with autosol, as Mitch said, get some pics upDamien Quote
