Fitting wheels with larger centre bore

Wig

The spigot rings on ebay would do the job. But you may be tempted just to bolt them on without any rings - I would - at least to see if they develop any movement, which I doubt would happen.

My question is what are the tyre sizes?

And you should take note of my own thread of a similar topic and take care that it will not happen to you (especially if you do get spigot rings)

A snug fit by hand with thump from the had at most. Otherwise you need to get another set or get them machined.

Thanks for that, well they're Oz wheels and came with Oz spigot rings so I'm assuming they sent me the right ones, will give it a go today.

The tyre size on the current 14" wheels is the recommended tyre size when using 14" wheels on the new car. So one less thing to worry about!

when the wheels are bolted on, it will be pretty secure and the bore should not be an issue at all.

If the wheel's bore are bigger than the hub a spigot ring should allow you to easily put it on.

Incorrect bores can be a huge problem on hubs that don't have the bolts on. VAG cars have no bolts on the hubs and they are a nightmare to align.. ad incorrect size bore and you're asking for trouble.,

No way... A Spigot Ring?... Now we all know.

What do you mean?

What london tiger means is

some cars use bolts not nuts.
To fit the bolts the holes in the wheel and hub must line up.
The usual way to do this is lift the wheel onto the hub ring, and then rotate it until the hole line up, then fit one bolt to hold it, and fit the rest.
(this wont work on the front wheel of a RWD car as nothing stops the hub spinning with the wheel, so you carry a stud that you screw in a hole, then fit the wheel to the stud, whiz the bolts in and then take the stud out)

If the centre hole is oversize, you will never get a hole to line up as the wheel is rotating on a different centre to the hub, so you will need the loose stud.

If you do fit the wheels then expect your insurance company to demand an extra premium, this situation is certainly outside the ABI guidance on winter tyres/wheels.

We're thinking of moving on from the wife's Jazz. Probably to a Yaris.

We have a set of steel winter wheels. I am trying to work out if it would be safe to fit them to the yaris.

The two cars have the same PCD and close enough offset.

But ... the Jazz has a centre bore of 56.1, the yaris centre bore is 54.1 (both from this useful website www.wheelfitment.eu/)

The wheels are 14" so may not fit over the calipers. But I can try them easily enough.

How important is the centre bore with a steel wheel?

it will fit but chances are that it will not be centred and vibrate at speed. you can get rings for alloy wheels that might fit the steels.

As others have said, a ring that will make the hub size match that of the center of the wheel would be needed. (I have been on a car that did not have said items, car was un-driveable.)
Another thing to look at is the offset - roughly how far around the hub the rim goes. If the old wheels go in too much, they will rub against springs etc.
