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

| Maximum Aggressive | 18x8.0J at ET18 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
Minivans carry passengers and cargo across a wide range of loaded conditions, so the factory wheel spec is built around a conservative load margin. Forging lets us hold that same margin while trimming rotational mass, which shows up as smoother ride quality whether the vehicle is empty or fully loaded.
The Citroen Berlingo runs a 4x108 bolt pattern, 65.1mm center bore, and a 16x6.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 17x7.5J ET20, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Citroen Berlingo. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x8.0J ET18 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Citroen Berlingo OE Wheel Specs
The 2016 Citroen Berlingo (MPV) uses a 4x108 bolt pattern with a 65.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 16x6.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 17x7.5J ET20 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Citroen Berlingo.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 18x8.0J ET18 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 16x6.5J ET27 → ~4.81″ backspacing
- Flush: 17x7.5J ET20 → ~5.04″ backspacing
- Max: 18x8.0J ET18 → ~5.21″ 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 Berlingo? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
