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 sedan's wheel spec is a balance point the factory tuned between ride comfort, steering feel, and everyday durability. Forging lets us hold that same structural margin while cutting rotational mass, which is where most of the real-world benefit — quicker steering response, marginally better ride — actually comes from.
The Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition ships from the factory on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 70.5mm center bore and a F 18x8.5J ET35 / R 18x9.5J ET35 wheel. Our flush reference for the Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition is F 18x9J ET30 / R 18x10J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is F 19x9.5J ET25 / R 19x10.5J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition OE Wheel Specs
The Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition ships from the factory on 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels with a 70.5mm center bore. The stock wheel size is F 18x8.5J ET35 / R 18x9.5J ET35, 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 Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition (2003) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern and cut the centre bore to 70.5mm 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.
- OE 18x8.5J ET35: backspacing ≈ 6.13"
- Flush 18x9J ET30: backspacing ≈ 6.18"
- Max 19x9.5J ET25: backspacing ≈ 6.23"

Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition (5x114.3, 70.5 mm Bore)
In our database, 155 other vehicle entries from 6 makes use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 70.5 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); 12.0% of those also use a 70.5 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 70.5 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 70.5 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 71.6 mm | 71.6 → 70.5 mm |
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 70.5 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 70.5 mm |
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 70.5 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 70.5 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition use?
The 2003 Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition use?
The Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition 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 Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition?
The Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition's center bore is 70.5mm. 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 does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 18x9J ET30 / R 18x10J ET30 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition?
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 Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition?
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 6.18" backspacing up front and 6.68" in the rear.
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 Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition?
Yes — the Panoz Esperante Jan Magnussen Edition's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
