ktp Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Due to a small incident in the snow over Christmas involving a front near side wheel and a kerb we have had to replace the wheels on my daughter's 54 plate 1.0s. The alloys she had were no longer available / manufactured.This where the problems start, we ordered a set of new wheels and tyres 15"x 6.5 100PCD with appropriate spigot adapters via the web 'suitable for fitting to all Seat Arosa - All Models (1997 - 2005)'.On removal of the existing alloys I noticed that the rear drums have a larger spigot than the front, it measures approximately 74mm where as the front is 57mm.The new wheels that have been supplied have a 60mm bore with a spigot adapter to bring the it down to 57mm. That's fine for the fronts but obviously rears will not fit!Is there something odd going on here, what should the spigot diameter be on the rear drum of a Arosa 1.0s 54 plate?Incidentally the old alloys that came off did have a counterbore that suited the rear drum spigot (approx 74mm) and spigot rings to take it down to 57mm for the fronts. The alloy wheel online retailer is saying that the 1.0s should have 57mm spigots front and rear.... which is right? Help!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olethalb Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 they should both be 57mm, got any pics mate? also if they were intended to be different then the spare would be useless too.Olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
