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 Mercedes-Benz Citan runs a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, 66.1mm center bore, and a 16x6.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 17x7.5J ET38, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Mercedes-Benz Citan. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 18x8.0J ET35 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Mercedes-Benz Citan OE Wheel Specs
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Citan (Commercial Van) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 66.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 16x6.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports passenger and cargo load capacity
- Balances ride comfort with everyday practicality
- A widely used size for this vehicle class, supporting parts and tire availability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension and brake package
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Mercedes-Benz Citan (2022) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern and cut the centre bore to 66.1mm 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.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, F/R 17x7.5J ET38 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Mercedes-Benz Citan.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
F/R 18x8.0J ET35 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: 16x6.5J ET45 → ~5.52″ backspacing
- Flush: 17x7.5J ET38 → ~5.75″ backspacing
- Max: 18x8.0J ET35 → ~5.88″ 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 Mercedes-Benz spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Mercedes-Benz Citan? 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 Mercedes-Benz Citan (2022)
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 5x114.3 pattern and the 66.1mm 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 Mercedes-Benz orders on this platform land somewhere between the 17x7.5J ET38 flush setup and the 18x8.0J ET35 aggressive setup referenced above.
We do not hold 5x114.3 wheels on a shelf — they are forged to order, which is why any offset, width and bore combination on this page is buildable rather than limited to a stock list.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Mercedes-Benz Citan use?
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Citan uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Mercedes-Benz Citan use?
The Mercedes-Benz Citan uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x114.3), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Mercedes-Benz Citan?
The Mercedes-Benz Citan's center bore is 66.1mm. 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 Mercedes-Benz Citan?
Factory wheels on the Mercedes-Benz Citan are 16x6.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Mercedes-Benz Citan without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 18x8.0J at ET35 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 Mercedes-Benz Citan?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 17x7.5J at ET38 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Mercedes-Benz Citan.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Mercedes-Benz Citan?
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 Mercedes-Benz Citan?
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 5.75" 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 Mercedes-Benz Citan?
The Mercedes-Benz Citan 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 Mercedes-Benz Citan (5x114.3, 66.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 224 other vehicle entries from 9 makes use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 66.1 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.
5x114.3 is used by 20.0% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (1,300 of 6,503); 17.3% of those also use a 66.1 mm center bore.
Mercedes-Benz Citan: Specs by Model Year
| Year | Bolt pattern | Center bore | Factory wheel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 5x108 | 60.1 mm | 15x6J |
| 2022 | 5x114.3 | 66.1 mm | 16x6.5J |
Check the model year before ordering: the specs change — bolt pattern 5x108 → 5x114.3 from 2022; center bore 60.1 mm → 66.1 mm from 2022.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 66.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 66.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 66.6 mm | 66.6 → 66.1 mm |
| 67.1 mm | 67.1 → 66.1 mm |
| 70.1 mm | 70.1 → 66.1 mm |
| 70.5 mm | 70.5 → 66.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 66.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 66.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.

Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M14x1.5, ball-seat lug bolt.
Factory Torque Spec: 130 Nm (96 ft-lb). Sedan/coupe platforms (E-Class, CLS, SL and similar) generally use the shorter 27mm bolt at this spec.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
Bolt pattern and center bore on this page were cross-checked against at least two independent sources before publication. Last reviewed 2026-09-18. Spotted an error? Email info@ankusi.com and we will verify and correct it.
