Wheel Size & Offset at a Glance
| Configuration | Wheel Size & Offset |

How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
The Citroen C3 Aircross's factory suspension tuning already accounts for a specific unsprung mass target. Forged construction lets ANKUSI match the factory strength spec while keeping rotational weight down, which is where the real handling benefit comes from on a taller, heavier SUV platform.
The Citroen C3 Aircross runs a 4x108 bolt pattern, 65.1mm center bore, and a 17x6.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 18x7.5J ET18, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Citroen C3 Aircross. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x8.0J ET15 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Citroen C3 Aircross OE Wheel Specs
The 2025 Citroen C3 Aircross (SUV) uses a 4x108 bolt pattern with a 65.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x6.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday drivability
- A commonly used size for this vehicle class, supporting parts and tire availability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension and brake components
- Provides stable, predictable handling across normal driving conditions
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Citroen C3 Aircross (2025) we drill the 4x108 pattern and cut the centre bore to 65.1mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 18x7.5J ET18 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Citroen C3 Aircross.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 18x8.0J ET15 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Real-World Reference Cases
The examples below are compiled from typical ANKUSI customer configurations and are labeled as reference cases, not individually verified real-world builds.
Case 1: Daily Driver (Factory-Style)
Profile: Everyday driving, prioritizes comfort and low running cost.
Setup: 17x6.5J ET23
Cost: ~$620
Outcome: Minimal visual change, ride and fuel economy essentially unaffected.
Case 2: Balanced Enthusiast (Balanced / Flush Fit)
Profile: Wants a sportier stance without sacrificing daily usability.
Setup: 18x7.5J ET18
Cost: ~$3,000
Outcome: Noticeable visual upgrade, fuel economy drop within the expected range.
Case 3: Show Build (Max Aggressive)
Profile: Built primarily for shows or occasional track/show use.
Setup: 18x8.0J ET15
Cost: ~$5,500
Outcome: Maximum visual impact; daily comfort and fuel economy are heavily compromised, physical test fit required before production.
Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 17x6.5J ET23 → ~4.66″ backspacing
- Flush: 18x7.5J ET18 → ~4.96″ backspacing
- Max: 18x8.0J ET15 → ~5.09″ backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Citroen spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Citroen C3 Aircross? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Custom Forged Wheels for the Citroen C3 Aircross (2025)
Everything above is reference data. If you want wheels actually built to it, that is what ANKUSI does: we are a forged wheel factory in Guangzhou, China, IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 certified, forging on our own 10,000-ton press and producing over 120,000 wheels a year. Forging blank, CNC machining, finishing, coating and inspection all happen in the same building — nothing is subcontracted and nothing is relabelled from another manufacturer.
Every set is cut to order, so the 4x108 pattern and the 65.1mm centre bore are machined for this car specifically rather than shimmed with adaptor rings. Diameter, width, offset, concavity, monoblock or multi-piece construction and the finish are all yours to choose — most Citroen orders on this platform land somewhere between the 18x7.5J ET18 flush setup and the 18x8.0J ET15 aggressive setup referenced above.
We do not hold 4x108 wheels on a shelf — they are forged to order, which is why any offset, width and bore combination on this page is buildable rather than limited to a stock list.
