sorry for replying with dump question, but what's a spigot?

No such thing as a stupid question only stupid answers!

From the Oxford English dictionary
spigot (spigot)
Pronunciation:/ˈspɪgət/
noun
1 a small peg or plug , especially for insertion into the vent of a cask

2 US a tap

a device for controlling the flow of liquid in a tap

3 the plain end of a section of a pipe fitting into the socket of the next one

Origin:

Middle English: perhaps an alteration of Provençal espigou(n), from Latin spiculum, diminutive of spicum, variant of spica (see spica)

I think bikerdude is referring to the raised up part in the centre of the hub that the hole in the centre of the wheel goes into.

bikerdude - As for the size of it why don't you just take a wheel off and measure it? Even easier, just measure the hole in your spare wheel!

Why are you persisting with this modification when it clearly isn't correct for your car?

OK Jon - thanks for taking the time to explain what should have been so obvious, around here in Egypt we gave the spigot a silly name, the "belly button" that is.

as for "bikerdude", i think he is doing the modification because he had the rims laying somewhere in his garage and just thought he'd use them on his Matiz.

bikerdude, I think you will not be convinced until you try them on yourself and find out what will be the result.
