Silver! Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 To do it accurately you'll need a set of vernier calipers. Do you have a wheel shop near you? They should be able to do it, maybe even KwikFit or the likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam R4 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Local motor factors may be able to help you, although vernier callipers sometimes don't fit into the barrel, you need some short ones haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 tbh if you measure it you can probably guess the precise measurement from known standard centre bores - suspect it'll be 65.1 Peugot/Citroen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElZ 16v Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 yea coz theres loads of size spigot rings i dot wanna order the wrong size then have to re order it and wait again..so if i take ceter cap off and measure straight down thatl give me the diameter (forgot my high school maths quite quick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I think you would be better taking a wheel off to measure as it may be stepped down to a smaller dia. for a wheel centre cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yeah good point best to measure from the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElZ 16v Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 yea okay il take one off and measure it having the wheels balanced today after college as random wheel shake over 60mph but doesnt always happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 That might be due to not having spigot rings of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
