even if they are 4x100?
Yep, they will be. If you still fancy them you'll need to budget 6 quid ish for spigot rings and 45 quid ish for pcd correction (wobble) nutsyeah will do. all the description says is "Set of four 13x7 Starmag alloy wheels in classic mini fitment"

Spigot rings are for the centre bore so nothing to do with pcd

I ran minilites in 4x101.6 on my k10 for ages with wobble nuts and never had an issue. Most important is to make sure they are centred on the spigot. I'll try n find a link

If you get them then make sure when you fit them you get good location/centering on the hub, spigot rings if the cb is too big (most likely) or opening up cb if it's too small. Sent by pigeon from t'allotment

Getting some rings isn't a massive problem tho. as long as they fit ill be a happy chappyNo worries

All I can do is reiterate what I have already said in that it worked fine for me. Some people are not happy to run wobble nuts, I however researched the subject and only when I felt satisfied did I go ahead with it.
Don't forget we will be requiring LOTS of pics or you'll be banished!!He's coming down to deliver them tomorrow for 180 so not too bad tbh

you know where or what size i need? havnt got a clue myself

Will 59.1 rings do the job? Seeing as iv read the micra hub is 59.1
That is the correct internal measurement for the micra hub, you will also need the external measurement to suit the CB of the wheel ie 67.1-59.1

Awh so gona have to wait until I get the wheels before I can order the rings. Yet more waiting!That is the correct internal measurement for the micra hub, you will also need the external measurement to suit the CB of the wheel ie 67.1-59.1

Aha! you dont know how much im dying to get this done
i tried with standard k11 nuts but its a little off and dont wana put weight of car on them so need to get these wobble nuts which are on the way ;D as soon as there here the wheels are going on. but jesus. the rear really needs lowering!Are the wheels a nice snug fit on the spigot? Even if its a mm out you're liable to get vibration as you can't centre the wheel on the hub with the wheelnuts as you can a 4x100 rim and std nuts so you could do with getting an accurate measurement. You reckon it's 60mm? You can actually get 60.1-59.1 spigot rings

can remeber off top of head. need the nuts to have a proper look really. iv spoke to a bloke on ebay and facebook as iv told him the measurements so he said he will tell me what i need and if there isnt any rings out there which i need he can custom make some for my specs.
OP
OP
not the best picture i could get but from the bottom lip shown here it must be 60.1. or do i measure from the front edgeCool

Iv just bought 60.1 to 59.1 and they were only a fiver aswell so if there wrong it doesn't matter too much. Hopefully are right as all i seem to do is wait for things to be deliverd.Might be worth having a word with one of the spigot ring sellers on ebay just to be sure. They aren't expensive either, I recently had a new set of Team Dynamic spigot rings to fit Nissan for a fiver delivered
Most mini wheels will be big enough to fit with the center bore but need wobble bolts for your wheel nuts as minis are 4 x101.6
OP
OP
I saw your micra at japfest and by far was the best looking! Are you running coilies on the rear? My Starmags are 101.6 so got the wobble nuts on the way but getting rings aswell cause seems to be like 1mm cb difference
Yea i have polo 6ns on the rear and corsa bs on the front
OP
OP
The spigot on the hub only sticks out a few mil so the measurement you want is right where the tape is. Looks like 70.1mm yo me.
Edited cos I looked at wrong edge
OP
OP
think im going for 6n rear coilies aswell. just hope to find a set around £60 if thats even possible.
