Hi,

I have just ordered a set of second hand OZ Super Turismo alloys which are a fitment of 4x108 7x17 et42

I understand that I will need 20mm spacers to change the get these onto the C2 however, here's the issue...

The alloys have spigots to suit Ford (63.3mm) but the Citroen is 65.1mm. I can get the adapters off ebay but its going to cost the best part of £100...

See Ebay link! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220240601775&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3D R40%26_trksid%3Dm38.l1313%26_nkw%3D220240601775%2B %26_fvi%3D1)

So what are my options, I can either buy the adapters (any idea where I can get em cheaper??) or maybe remove the Ford spigots from the alloys to revert to the original OZ bore size (any idea what size this is? or if it will be of any benefit? I assume the original bore size will be more generic and therefore spacers/spigots for the C2 may be cheaper)

Thanks for your help!!

You will need hubcentric spacers to suit the Citroen C2 so that they fit on the standard hubs nice and snug, then you will needto change the spiggot rings from generic OZ to C2 size

Just read a bit more of the link you posted and yes they will overcome both the spigots and the spacers but you may wanna check see if you can get the two seperate tiems chepaer, to be honest tho I dont think thats too bad of a price

That's great thanks Chambers, so you reckon if the wheels already have spigots in them to make them a ford fitment I should be ok adding a spigot/spacer combination on top of this to make them a Citroen fit?

Cheers
