Hub bore size and spacers
Been googling around for a bit trying to find a solution to a problem.
My BBS LMR reps have 73.1 centre bores and my hubs are 72.6 so leaving a tiny gap of 0.5mm It doesn't seem that spigot rings in that size are easily available - if at all! My next thought was, can hubcentric spacers help me? I need spacers on the front anyway. So my question is (and I cant find any so may have already answered my own question) can I get hubcentric spacers that have a 72.6 centre to sit in my hub that then have an outer bore of 73.1 to fit my wheels? I've been lucky so far in that the wobble created by this tiny gap has and is barely noticeable but it's still not something I want to have. My other thought was buying larger bore spacers and using a spigot to fit them to the hub and them having the outer bore machined down to the 73.1 for my wheels (I thought of this as someone suggested having the wheels machined to a larger bore but I don't want to do that incase they bugger it up. Any help, links, suggestions are more than welcome Cheers 'V' |

You get plasticy type spigot rings that will squash and mould to the gap needed
Something like this on ebay 161391274853 Don't think this is the exact size that u need but you can give them a ring |

I had same problem when fitting O.Z superturismos onto my old corsa. 0.5mm thick copper sheet cut into strips the length of the circumference of the alloys centre bore. Then bend them into place. Ran them for a couple of years with no wobble or issues at all.
