Providing you using tappered bolt spigot rings are not needed. The wheel is held on by the friction between the two faces and tappered bolts will centralise the wheel properly.

Spigot rings are only needed if your using non-tappered bolt with a wheel with a non-matching centre bore, for example 4x98 fiat rims to a 4x100 volvo 300 hub this would require both wobbley bolts and spigot rings.

I ran all kinds of different centre bore wheels on my old Sierra that had a welded diff and spent alot of time sideways and I never had a wheel coming loose, not centralise properly or cause any problems. That used tappered bolts.

As for the oe wheel spec I pretty sure that the wheels on my 360 are 14x5.5j et37 52mm centre bore (feel free to correct this last bit of info)
