Originally posted by Fat Tony View PostUrm, I'm kind of nervous about raising the subject of 'orange rings' again (sorry Spooks) but having finally got the 10mm spacers that my MC was missing for the rear ACS Type III rims today, I've just fitted them to discover that my MC actually had the orange rings on the hubs (hadn't looked until today). So maybe they are fitted if spacers aren't used with the Type IIIs?
Anyway, they needed removing in order to fit the ACS spacers. Damn the rears look so much better now
The orange rings in question:
If you don't have them fitted, the wheels will not sit perfectly central / flat on the mating hub surface and you may get wheel wobble.
You can use them with spacers! As they sit perfectly inside the bore of the wheel. They're simply just an aid to help the wheels align correctly with the hub.

Ac schnitzer genuine type 3 or type 3 racing alloys have an 82mm centre bore ,in fact i think all genuine schnitzer wheels are 82mm altho i could be wrong the orange spigot rings are used if you dont want to run spacers generally more used for non m cars, genuine schnitzer spacers reduce the bore from 82mm to 72.6 mm for running on a z3.
i run a 20 mm rear spacers on my 19 inch type 3 racing alloys with a 7mm front spacer so no need for the orange spigot rings. reduces offsets to et36 fronts and et 1.5 rears
you get 2 different sizes of schnitzer spacers 1 does z3,z4,3series etc reduces from 82-72.6 then there is a different schnitzer spacers for 5 series 82mm - 74.1 basically so you can interchange the wheels and change the spacers or spigot rings think green spigot rings are 5 series everything else is orange
hopefully helps cheersLast edited by thebandit69man; 07-04-2013, 11:21 PM.Black M Coupe/Black Red

10mm spacers seems the prefered option by those in the know - does fitting spacers have any impact on tracking?
Can't really see how it would, but?S54 Titan Silver metallic. Black leather, most factory options including sunroof, Becker Cascade and Becker Silverstone changer.

This may seem like a daft question but I'll ask anyway ,after looking at the h&r spacers I see they sell as extra tracking width as 10 so are we talking kit 20 ( I think we are) or kit 10 being 5 each side.rather be sure than getting wrong sets sent. For those who laughing right now I'm glad to have been of service

Orange spigot rings are only used when you don't run a hubcentric adaptor. The standard 7mm adaptors that come with TypeII/III wheels are part number 361399210, retail price £49.92 each including VAT. These have a shiny passivated finish, a clip ring and silver finished M12 x 33mm x 1.5mm bolts.
There are no other adaptors listed by AC Schnitzer for Type II/III wheels but the adaptors from wheels Type IV onwards will fit. However, these adaptors have a bead-blasted finish, no clip ring and chrome bolts so look rather different, but you could replace the silver bolts in the 7mm adaptors with chrome ones easily enough so that these all match. The 20mm version of this adaptor is part number 361341140 and comes with M12 x 45 x 1.5mm bolts. These adaptors are £31.26 each inc VAT.
Pics attached so you can see the difference. We have a couple of pairs of each in stock.
Chrome bolts M12 x 33 x 1.5mm are part number 36311060 £3.16 each. A set of locking wheel bolts to fit 7mm front 20mm rear is part 36131057 £65.34.
We have other thickness adaptors in stock so let me know what you need. Phone is best as I don't get on here often ;)

Will 12mm be OK all around? I'm running standard wheels and H&R springs.2001 S54
