Apologies for the noob question; I cannot take any more searching on the internet for a definitive answer on this, so thought I'd ask here. I know nothing about wheel fitment. A billion times more than I did a couple hours ago, but still essentially nothing.
I have some random slot mags (not Wolfrace) that came with my car, which I'd like to put on instead of the Nissan 4-spokes that are currently on it. The mags have an 80mm centre bore. I understand my 260 hubs are 73mm? Certainly seems right, but I don't have calipers to measure accurately. The 4-spokes have a deep, tapered centre, which at first glance appears to match the profile of the hub; however, on inspection, the internal diameter of the centre of the 4-spokes, right at the back where they meet the hub, also appears to be about 80mm, like the mags, and so they can't actually be sitting on the hub? My lug nuts are, I understand, 'lugcentric', in that they have a flat, not tapered, face and fit tightly in the holes in the wheel (on both wheels). I also see that the 73mm flat part of the hub is only a couple mm thick before it tapers away anyway. So, my question after the long-winded build up, is do I need spigot rings for either of these wheels? What does everyone else do?
