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
Minivans carry passengers and cargo across a wide range of loaded conditions, so the factory wheel spec is built around a conservative load margin. Forging lets us hold that same margin while trimming rotational mass, which shows up as smoother ride quality whether the vehicle is empty or fully loaded.
The Lancia Musa ships from the factory on a 4x98 bolt pattern with a 58.1mm center bore and a 15x6J ET32 wheel. Our flush reference for the Lancia Musa is 16x7J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is 17x7.5J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Lancia Musa OE Wheel Specs
The Lancia Musa ships from the factory on 4x98 bolt pattern wheels with a 58.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 15x6J ET32, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
Flush Fitment
For a flush look without any body modification, most Lancia Musa owners run 16x7J ET30. This setup tucks the wheel face closer to the fender lip while staying within safe load and clearance limits.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
Owners chasing a more aggressive stance push to 17x7.5J ET25. Chassis: Lowering springs. Wheels: Standard 4x98. Tires: 195/50 R16. Clearance should be verified before ordering, especially on lowered cars.
