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
Convertibles lose some of the structural rigidity a fixed roof provides, which means the suspension and wheels end up doing more of the work to keep the chassis composed. A forged wheel keeps unsprung mass down without sacrificing the strength margin the factory built in — useful on a platform that's already managing extra flex.
The Bentley Azure T runs a 5x120 bolt pattern, 72.6mm center bore, and a F: 20x8.5J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 20x9.5J ET15, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Bentley Azure T. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 20x10.0J ET10 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Bentley Azure T OE Wheel Specs
The 2009 Bentley Azure T (Luxury Convertible) uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with a 72.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 20x8.5J R: 20x8.5J.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Preserves the factory-tuned ride and steering feel
- A mainstream size for this segment, keeping tire choice wide and prices reasonable
- Leaves full clearance for the stock brakes and suspension hardware
- Keeps handling predictable and consistent in everyday conditions
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Bentley Azure T (2009) we drill the 5x120 pattern and cut the centre bore to 72.6mm 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 20x9.5J ET15 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Bentley Azure T.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 20x10.0J ET10 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 20x8.5J ET20 → ~5.54″ F backspacing, R 20x8.5J ET20 → ~5.54″ R backspacing
- Flush: 20x9.5J ET15 → ~5.84″ backspacing
- Max: 20x10.0J ET10 → ~5.89″ 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 Bentley spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Bentley Azure T? 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 Bentley Azure T (2009)
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 5x120 pattern and the 72.6mm 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 Bentley orders on this platform land somewhere between the 20x9.5J ET15 flush setup and the 20x10.0J ET10 aggressive setup referenced above.

What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Bentley Azure T use?
The 2009 Bentley Azure T uses a 5x120 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Bentley Azure T use?
The Bentley Azure T uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x120), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Bentley Azure T?
The Bentley Azure T's center bore is 72.6mm. 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 Bentley Azure T?
Factory wheels on the Bentley Azure T are F: 20x8.5J R: 20x8.5J.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Bentley Azure T without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 20x10.0J at ET10 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 Bentley Azure T?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 20x9.5J at ET15 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Bentley Azure T.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Bentley Azure T?
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 Bentley Azure T?
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 5.84" 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 Bentley Azure T?
The Bentley Azure T 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.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Bentley Azure T (5x120, 72.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 338 other vehicle entries from 10 makes use exactly the same 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.6 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x120 is used by 10.4% of the vehicle entries in our database (663 of 6,396); 51.1% of those also use a 72.6 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 72.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 72.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 72.6 mm |
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 72.6 mm |
| 76.1 mm | 76.1 → 72.6 mm |
| 78.1 mm | 78.1 → 72.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 72.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
