I need help with a couple of things and im sure you chaps can help. Firstly i have got some speedline alessio 2 alloys for my corsa B will i need spigot rings to fit them or will they be fine to go straight on? I have fitted them and they feel nice and tight on the hubs but just thought id ask before i go driving my car around. Secondly i know this has been covered loads of times but i cant get the centre caps to fit! i know one solution is to take a grinder to the car but not kean on doing this is there an alternative? I have seen spacers mentionned but will this not cause problems when i come to lower the car?
Thanks In advance

From memory they don't require spigot rings but I'll check my set at the workshop tomorrow and tell you.
Grinding the stub axle down is preferable to spacers. If you do it with the nut on it'll recut the thread anyway when you take it off.
Spacers is more expensive, will affect the handling and limit you to going lower.
