99% of aftermarket wheels use an oversize centre bore with spigot rings for each car, otherwise they would have to make tens of different wheel castings for wheels with the same stud patterns..

And the PCD is 5x108, same as the Renault.


no....... enlighten me oh knowledgeable one.......?

You meant adaptor as in hub adaptor, not spigot ring.

Even if you found an aftermarket wheel that happened to come in 60,1 centre bore, and the correct offset and width for the rear of a Spider, the front wheels would still have a spigot ring, as the front is a standard width and offset and shared with Ford, and Jaguar, so they will supply a wheel with a large centrebore and a spigot ring (adaptor :roll: :lol: )

No wheel companies in the aftermarket (apart from Azev/Compo etc) will supply a dedicated fit wheel for ANY Renault as the PCD is shared with many other vehicles..

Yeah......theyre Rimstocks.

They - make - wheels..from blanks like Azev and Compo, like I said... :wink:

And why have you only gone for a 23mm offset on the rear, or have you gone for a 9" width?
