Right they have a sort of spacer thing for the back that you have to use to fit them and im trying to work out how it goes on, think ive worked it out but obviously want to make sure its correct.

These are the parts that come with it, spigot ring, bolts and spacer thingy.
Spacer thingy has 4 normal bolt holes and 4 threaded holes.


I think it goes like this,... its obvious where the spigot ring goes,then the four black bolts bolt the spacer onto the hub leaveing four threaded holes.


Then the silver bolts go through the wheel and into the four threaded holes that are left.


That sound about right ?



Also, anyone tell me anything i can use to seal them dont want them pitting and stuff wanna keep them in tip top condition, dont mind cleaning them 2 - 3 times a week THanks .

Explain ? on the other side its clearly ment to have the black bolts through as there is like a recess coned sort of shape for the bolt to sit in.

And the spacer deffinetly goes that way as its the only way the spigot ring fits in

well try fitting them without the wheel nut at first. Once you bolted the wheel up check that its secure and everything looks right. Change your sig aswell

Yeah we'll try fitting them with the locker and if it touches the hub try and cut it down, if we cant just put standard ones in for now..
