5x110 is used by 2.1% of the vehicle entries in our database (136 of 6,396); 100.0% of those also use a 65.1 mm center bore.
Offset and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 17x5.5J | ET26 | 4.27 in (109 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 17x7J | ET20 | 4.79 in (122 mm) | +13 mm | +25 mm |
| Maximum | 18x7.5J | ET18 | 4.96 in (126 mm) | +17 mm | +33 mm |
Hub-Centric Rings for a 65.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 65.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 66.1 mm | 66.1 → 65.1 mm |
| 66.6 mm | 66.6 → 65.1 mm |
| 67.1 mm | 67.1 → 65.1 mm |
| 70.1 mm | 70.1 → 65.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 65.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 65.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.

FAQ
What is the bolt pattern on a Lotus Europa?
The Lotus Europa uses a 5x110 bolt pattern with a 65.1mm center bore across every Europa variant in our database (2 guides, 2006–2008).
What is the Lotus Europa center bore?
The hub-centric center bore is 65.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels should match this bore or use hub-centric rings so the hub, not the bolts, carries the load.
Do all Lotus Europa years share the same wheel fitment?
The bolt pattern and center bore are the same across the years we cover, but OE wheel width and offset differ by trim, so check the exact model line before choosing an aftermarket size.
Which forged wheels fit the Lotus Europa?
Any wheel drilled 5x110 with a 65.1mm hub bore in the offset range shown on the model guide. ANKUSI forges wheels to order for this exact specification, in 14–24 inch diameters, so no adapters or hub rings are needed.
