Centre Bore:
The center bore of a wheel is the diameter of the hole drilled in the middle of the rim, this hole fits to the hub of your vehicle. Center bores on wheels are typically standardized based on the make of the vehicle. Some makes of cars will use different centre bores based on the model of vehicle.

When machines properly, the centre bore is said to be "hub centric". This indicates that the dimensions of the centre bore and the corresponding piece on the hub are identical. This will ensure a steady ride with no vibration.

What if the centre bore of a rim i want is larger than my hub? In this case you may still purchase the rim but must also purchase spigot rings, these rings are used to fill the extra space within the centre bore in order to avoid vibration and danger while driving. Spigot rings are an acceptable solution.

Though not always recommended, you may also torque your rims to fit while the vehicle is still in the air. This should be ok but it is highly recommended to use spigot rings if the centre bore of your rim is larger than required for your vehicle.

Bolt Patterns

It is critical that you choose the correct bolt pattern when buying a rim, the bolt pattern must match your vehicle. Bolt Patterns come in various variations:

4, 6, and 8 Bolt Patterns

4 Bolt:4 bolt pattern

6 Bolt: 6 bolt pattern

8 Bolt: 8 bolt pattern

To measure the bolt pattern with 4, 6, or 8 bolt variations is very simple. All you have to do is choose any bolt, centre your ruler, and then line it up with the opposite bolt. It is advised that you measure in mm (millimetres) as rims are typically designed using the metric system.

Five Bolt:

5 Bolt: 5 bolt pattern To measure a 5-bolt pattern is very different than 4, 6, or 8. You must line up the wheel as indicated in the picture and measure from the centre of the top bolt to the bottom between the two bottom bolts. If you are unsure of your bolt pattern you may also check online or use a bolt pattern gauge.

Dual Bolt Patterns:

There are several bolt patterns that we carry, they include:

12 bolt: 4-100mm OR 4-110mm OR 4-114.3mm
10 bolt : 5-100mm OR 5-114.3mm application
9 bolt: 9-114.3
5 bolt: 5-120mm (typically used on BMW)

Rim Offsets:

Offset and Backspace:

rim-wheel offset diagram

We can define the offset of rims by using the formula listed bellow:
Offset = [Backspace -(Rim Width)] / 2

The delta between the hub mount surface and the centre of the rim is therefore the offset

Measuring rim offsets:
1. Measure the width of the rim by placing it on a flat surface
2. Split the value you get in half

Rims are designed in three different ways:
0 offset: The hub mount and centre line of the rim are perfectly even.
(+) offset: Forward wheel drive vehicles will use a positive offset configuration. This means that the hub mount is moved forward (towards the front side, or also can be called the wheel side of the wheel or rim).
(-) offset: With a negative offset rim, the hub mount is shifted backwards towards the brake side. Such rims are typically referred to as “deep dish rims”.

Backspace

Rim Backspace:

This is the distance from the hub mount surface measured to the back of the rim. Follow these steps in order to effectively measure the backspace:

  1. Lay the rim on a flat surface with the outer face down
  2. Place a descent straight edge across the entire back of the rim
  3. Measure the distance between the straight edge and the centre hub mount
