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
On a performance-oriented coupe, the wheel is one of the few components where shaving weight has a compounding effect — less rotational mass means less work for the brakes, the drivetrain, and the chassis on every input. A forged wheel gets there without compromising the strength margin the factory engineered in.
The Bentley Continental R Mulliner runs a 5x154.94 bolt pattern, 117.6mm center bore, and a F: 18x8.0J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is F 19x8.5J ET15 / R 19x9.5J ET18, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Bentley Continental R Mulliner. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is F 20x9.0J ET12 / R 20x10.0J ET15 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Bentley Continental R Mulliner OE Wheel Specs
The 2000 Bentley Continental R Mulliner (Luxury Coupe) uses a 5x154.94 bolt pattern with a 117.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 18x8.0J R: 18x9.0J.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Keeps the factory ride quality and noise levels intact
- A common fitment for this class, so replacement tires are easy to source
- Preserves clearance around the OE brakes and suspension geometry
- Delivers predictable, easy-to-live-with handling for daily use
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Bentley Continental R Mulliner (2000) we drill the 5x154.94 pattern and cut the centre bore to 117.6mm 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.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 18x8.0J ET20 → ~5.29″ F backspacing, R 18x9.0J ET20 → ~5.79″ R backspacing
- Flush: F 19x8.5J ET15 → ~5.34″ F backspacing, R 19x9.5J ET18 → ~5.96″ R backspacing
- Max: F 20x9.0J ET12 → ~5.47″ F backspacing, R 20x10.0J ET15 → ~6.09″ R 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 Continental R Mulliner? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Bentley Continental R Mulliner use?
The 2000 Bentley Continental R Mulliner uses a 5x154.94 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Bentley Continental R Mulliner use?
The Bentley Continental R Mulliner uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x154.94), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Bentley Continental R Mulliner?
The Bentley Continental R Mulliner's center bore is 117.6mm. 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 Continental R Mulliner?
Factory wheels on the Bentley Continental R Mulliner are F: 18x8.0J R: 18x9.0J.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Bentley Continental R Mulliner without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is F 20x9.0J ET12 / R 20x10.0J ET15. 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 Continental R Mulliner?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 19x8.5J ET15 / R 19x9.5J ET18 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Bentley Continental R Mulliner.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Bentley Continental R Mulliner?
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 Continental R Mulliner?
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 5.34" backspacing up front and 5.96" in the rear.
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 Continental R Mulliner?
Yes — the Bentley Continental R Mulliner's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
