   I have 14 steelies still on atm. The wheels I'm fitting are 15" alloys, but require a spigot ring to fit. Not only that but theyre much wider and require spacers, as for what size spacers I have no idea atm. Will it be ok to fit them with the spigot rings AND spacers though? Will it make my car dangerous, fitting spacers on top or at all? What's people's opinions on this, please help. Thanks!

   Shouldn't see why not but I'd recommend hubcentric spacers

   What's the difference between them and normal spacers?

   Hubcentric ones bolt on to the hub and the wheel bolts on to them so you dont use longer bolts and they have the lip for the centre of the wheel, much safer

   Ahh thanks mate. Guess I wouldn't use the spigot rings if I got centric then!

   You might be able to get some that will work as adapters iirc

   As you've already been told by Tingaling, hubcentric spacers is the one.
