GTB 53 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 I bought 2 sets of Eibach pro spacers from Fensport (sorry Abbey better price). On trying to fit them I find an error. The male spigot diameter on my hub is 73mm but the female bore on the spacers is 56mm. Have checked these with a vernier. Everywhere I see hub bore of 56.1mm for GT86 but the male spigot on my front offside hub is definitely 73mm. Fensport think the spacers may be packaged wrong and I am returning them Monday. In the meantime if anyone has any tips then please shout ! I thought 56.1mm bore quoted everywhere on the interweb was this male spigot outside diameter ?

Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 The standard hubs on the car have a 56.1mm centre bore, well all 4 do on mine, I had the centres of my wheels machined to match as they were celica fitment (54.1mm). If the hub on the vehicle is 73mm then there's nothing wrong with the spacers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTB 53 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Yes, the centre bore of the hub is 56.1mm and the bore of the spacer is 56.1mm but how on earth does it sit flush to the oem hub that has a 73mm male lip ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Well it won't... The OEM hub shouldn't have a 73mm lip on it, that's the problem not the spacers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Any chance you have aftermarket wheels and the spigot ring has stayed on the hub and not in the wheel... Most Rotas have a 73mm centre bore so that could explain it 1 nikndel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fensport 76 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Hi Geoff, Just been speaking to Tim about this and we have tried to call you back but no answer ..... basically you must have a spigot ring stuck on your hub flange as Jamie has said, all GT86 are 56.1 so if the Eibach spacer is measuring that then it will fit ... we close at 1 today but advise you double check before sending them back Cheers Adrian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTB 53 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 O.K will do, yes I have aftermarket wheels. I had the tyres and wheels swapped over by a local garage. Hadn`t given that a thought. I will double check but it appears I may be a numpty ! Thanks for excellent support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 I've used spigot rings with my Rays wheels. 56.1mm is definitely the hub diameter. Good luck with sorting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Always worth checking when removing wheels that the spigot ring does not fall off and hide itself under car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTB 53 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 When I took one of the other wheels off it was blatantly obvious there was a spigot ring fitted to increase O/D from 56 to 73 for the Rota wheels. The first wheel it just looked like one complete component with an O/D of 73mm. Now sorted and thanks for the input, spigot rings off, spacers fitted, spigot rings back on done ! I feel rather embarrassed now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTB 53 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 15mm front and 20mm rear this is with Rota Boost 17" wheels (can`t remember offset) running OEM tyres and HKS Hipermax 4GT suspension (-17mm front and -16mm rear). I`m now proposing to drop a further 8mm. Looks pretty good. 1 nikndel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fusion 13 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Always worth checking when removing wheels that the spigot ring does not fall off and hide itself under car First time trying to fit wheels with spigots I dropped the car no less than 3 times to find the damn thing lying next to the wheel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 yeah these spigots are annoying, sometimes they stick to the hub, other times they stick to the wheel. Then you get the bastards that roll down the driveway! 1 GTB reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
