xht20:
for extra safety i ordered a custom-made piece, like an extension to the center bore. I will post pictures with it tomorrow. Hope i can solve this problem

jabbalad:
I mentioned this to matt when i went over to see him,
In theory it should be ok without the centre spigot as long as you keep checking the bolts are tight, but then again its there for a reason! I was thinking about machining the spacer off of the bell and just fitting my eibach spacers with the centre spigot again.

It wouldn't be a massive amount of hassle for them to have a spigot machined onto the bell when its first made tho,

Or you could change to studs and nuts on the hub  :smiley:

tony_danza:
I see what they've done and understand why, and I'd prefer that to spacers, but I'd still want a spigot regardless. What's this custom piece Teff, can you link it for others?

What does that change the effective ET to then? It might be worth them telling people, as if they're close to the limit already with say my wheels for example on an ET42.. it could push them out too wide.

xht20:
in this moment i'm going to the tuning shop to see if i got the piece. I don't know how to tell it in English, later i will post the picture and try to explain. Is it like an extension to the centering hub so that the Hub Centric Ring can be mounted on it and after that, the wheel to be fixed on it.


So, this is what i understood from your explanation: they made that disc bell, or how is it called, a little bit thicker so that aftermarket spacers won't be needed. Am i right?

tony_danza:
Yes, that is right. The alloy bell that holds the rotor/disc is thicker to push the wheel out further and stop the back of the wheel hitting the caliper. An in-built spacer.

In the opposite, my bells are quite thin, so I have to either use a 3mm spacer or get a bigger offset wheel - but I still have a full spigot to mount on.

It's just 2 different ways of fixing the problem of caliper clearance.

I think I know what you mean by the part, it is like a piece of tube that extends the spigot? That'll be fine, it's only to stop wheel wobble at high speed, the bolts once tight will do all the important work.
