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
Most of the engineering value in a forged wheel over a cast one shows up in rotational mass, not outright strength — both can meet the same load rating, but the forged piece gets there lighter. On a sedan platform tuned for everyday balance, that weight saving is felt directly in steering response and ride quality.
The Opel Zafira ships from the factory on a 5x115 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm center bore and a 17x7J ET44 wheel. Our flush reference for the Opel Zafira is 18x8J ET35.; our maximum aggressive reference is 19x8.5J ET30. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Opel Zafira OE Wheel Specs
The Opel Zafira ships from the factory on 5x115 bolt pattern wheels with a 70.3mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 17x7J ET44, 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.
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Opel Zafira (2017) we drill the 5x115 pattern and cut the centre bore to 70.3mm 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 and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 17x7J | ET44 | 5.73 in (146 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 18x8J | ET35 | 5.88 in (149 mm) | +4 mm | +22 mm |
| Maximum | 19x8.5J | ET30 | 5.93 in (151 mm) | +5 mm | +33 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Opel Zafira (5x115, 70.3 mm Bore)
In our database, 135 other vehicle entries from 9 makes use exactly the same 5x115 bolt pattern and 70.3 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.
5x115 is used by 3.2% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (209 of 6,503); 65.1% of those also use a 70.3 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 70.3 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 70.3 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 70.5 mm | 70.5 → 70.3 mm |
| 71.6 mm | 71.6 → 70.3 mm |
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 70.3 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 70.3 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 70.3 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Opel Zafira use?
The 2017 Opel Zafira uses a 5x115 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Opel Zafira use?
The Opel Zafira uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x115), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Opel Zafira?
The Opel Zafira's center bore is 70.3mm. 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 Opel Zafira?
Factory wheels on the Opel Zafira are 17x7J ET44.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Opel Zafira?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 18x8J at ET35 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Opel Zafira.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Opel Zafira?
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 Opel Zafira?
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 5.88" 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 Opel Zafira?
The Opel Zafira 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.
