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 Daimler Super Eight's factory wheel spec reflects a deliberate balance between comfort, steering feel and durability that the engineering team tuned for. Forging lets ANKUSI match that same strength target while trimming rotational mass — the part of a wheel upgrade that actually changes how the car drives, not just how it looks.
The Daimler Super Eight runs a 5x108 bolt pattern, 63.4mm center bore, and a 18x8.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 20x9.0J ET35, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Daimler Super Eight. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 21x9.5J ET35 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Daimler Super Eight OE Wheel Specs
The 2005 Daimler Super Eight (Luxury Sedan) uses a 5x108 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm center bore. Factory wheels are 18x8.0J 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
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Daimler Super Eight (2005) we drill the 5x108 pattern and cut the centre bore to 63.4mm 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 20x9.0J ET35 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Daimler Super Eight.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 21x9.5J ET35 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Case 3: Show Build (Max Aggressive)
Profile: Built primarily for shows or occasional track/show use.
Setup: 21x9.5J ET35

Decision Guide
1
What's your primary use? Daily commuting → Tier A/B. Weekend street driving → Tier B/C. Show or occasional track use → Tier D/E.
2
What's your budget? Under $800 → Tier A. $800-3,400 → Tier B/C. $3,400+ → Tier D/E.
3
How much does fuel economy matter? Very important → Tier A. Somewhat important → Tier B/C. Not a priority → Tier D/E.
4
Still unsure? Tier C (Balanced / Flush Fit) is the default choice for most Daimler Super Eight owners.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 18x8.0J ET49 → ~6.43″ backspacing
- Flush: 20x9.0J ET35 → ~6.38″ backspacing
- Max: 21x9.5J ET35 → ~6.63″ 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 Daimler spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Daimler Super Eight? 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 Daimler Super Eight (2005)
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 5x108 pattern and the 63.4mm 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 Daimler orders on this platform land somewhere between the 20x9.0J ET35 flush setup and the 21x9.5J ET35 aggressive setup referenced above.

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Daimler Super Eight use?
The 2005 Daimler Super Eight uses a 5x108 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Daimler Super Eight use?
The Daimler Super Eight uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x108), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Daimler Super Eight?
The Daimler Super Eight's center bore is 63.4mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Daimler Super Eight?
Factory wheels on the Daimler Super Eight are 18x8.0J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Daimler Super Eight without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 21x9.5J at ET35 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Daimler Super Eight?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 20x9.0J at ET35 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Daimler Super Eight.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Daimler Super Eight?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Daimler Super Eight?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.38" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Daimler Super Eight?
The Daimler Super Eight runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
