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
SUVs carry more curb weight higher off the ground, so wheel strength and rotational mass both matter more than on a comparable sedan — a heavier wheel amplifies body roll and slows steering response exactly where the platform is already working hardest. Forging keeps the wheel light without giving up the load rating the factory suspension geometry was tuned around.
The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense runs a 4x108 bolt pattern, 65.1mm center bore, and a 18x7.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 19x8.0J ET25, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height DS 3 Crossback E-Tense. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 19x8.5J ET20 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
DS 3 Crossback E-Tense OE Wheel Specs
The 2020 DS 3 Crossback E-Tense (EV Crossover) uses a 4x108 bolt pattern with a 65.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 18x7.0J F/R.
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
Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 19x8.0J ET25 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered DS 3 Crossback E-Tense.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 19x8.5J ET20 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: 18x7.0J ET32 → ~5.26″ backspacing
- Flush: 19x8.0J ET25 → ~5.48″ backspacing
- Max: 19x8.5J ET20 → ~5.54″ 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 DS spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your DS 3 Crossback E-Tense? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
