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
A wagon carries wagon-specific weight distribution — more mass over the rear axle when loaded — so wheel strength at the rear corners matters as much as the front. Forging lets us match the factory's strength target on both ends while keeping rotational mass down, which keeps the ride composed whether the cargo area is empty or full.
The Citroen C5 Estate runs a 5x108 bolt pattern, 65.1mm center bore, and a 17x7.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 19x8.5J ET25, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Citroen C5 Estate. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 20x9.0J ET22 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Citroen C5 Estate OE Wheel Specs
The 2008 Citroen C5 Estate (Wagon) uses a 5x108 bolt pattern with a 65.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x7.0J 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 C5 Estate (2008) we drill the 5x108 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.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 17x7.0J ET32 → ~5.26″ backspacing
- Flush: 19x8.5J ET25 → ~5.73″ backspacing
- Max: 20x9.0J ET22 → ~5.87″ 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 C5 Estate? 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 Citroen C5 Estate use?
The 2008 Citroen C5 Estate uses a 5x108 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Citroen C5 Estate use?
The Citroen C5 Estate 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 Citroen C5 Estate?
The Citroen C5 Estate's center bore is 65.1mm. 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 Citroen C5 Estate?
Factory wheels on the Citroen C5 Estate are 17x7.0J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Citroen C5 Estate without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 20x9.0J at ET22 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 Citroen C5 Estate?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 19x8.5J at ET25 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Citroen C5 Estate.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Citroen C5 Estate?
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 Citroen C5 Estate?
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 5.73" 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 Citroen C5 Estate?
The Citroen C5 Estate 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.
