Technical Alloy Help!!!

Just managed to get hold of some bk racing alloys. They have a pcd of 4x100. Im looking at getting some wobblies and a 3 or 5 mm spacers. Will i need anything else to fit these onto my uno?

Also found these... the wobblies he is selling.....https://www.fiatforum.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=19938&cat=17 will they be long enough with the spacers on you think??

send him a message he will know what size to give you, some bk wheels have tiny bolt holes though so you need special thin bolts.

when using wobblies its a must that you have the correct center hole size in the wheel. this can be reduced with spigot rings

Cheers. So what exactly do wobblies do then? I know rhey have a floating washer on them to allow moment of around 2mm but i just dont get how they can make it possible to put on wheels when the holes just dont match up! Lol. I maybe being stupid, but it baffles me. Yrah i have seen some spigot rings. How will i know what size to get exactly?

the outside of the spigot will need to be same size as the hole in the wheels, the inside will need to be 58.1mm

wobblies work just like you have just said, but the holes still line up the wobbly bits just moves so they sit in the tapered bit of the hole properly

Awsome thanks for the help guys. Will put some pics up once they are on, need to wait till payday on friday though to order the bits. Also gonna get them sprayed black with green pin stripe to go with the rest of the car. Should look quite nice as long as its done properly.lol

Another quick question. What would be best? 3 or 5mm spacers? Only really need to clear the brake caliper.....

Do a test fit of a wheel to find out....
