If you only need the spigot to help mount a wheel on, then why not just get a wheel mounting tool like this

....I've got one of those. Expensive but extremely helpful in reducing the risk of damaging the rim while taking on and off.
G4V VW:
Teff you definately need your wheel to sit on the spigot of your hub. The spigot centres the wheel to stop wheel wobble at speed. Wheel nuts are there mainly to hold the wheel on, it's the job of the spigot to Take most of the weight of the car and not the nuts. I have seen many cars with this fault with the wheels not sitting on the hub correctly Causing wobble.
This could also be causing your braking judder as the wheel is already wobbleing before and as you are braking.

I would really try doing this first, i would be very very surprised if your spigot extension has anything to do with it!

How did you do the chamfer? There is a special tool? because tomorrow i'm going back to service to change my ignition coils and to have a look at the wheel to see where it's rubbing
