Wheel Size & Offset at a Glance
| Configuration | Wheel Size & Offset |
|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 13x5.5J ET45 |
| Flush Fitment | 14x6J at ET40 offset |
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
On a compact performance platform, every pound of rotational mass fights the car's natural agility. A forged wheel keeps strength at the factory-rated level while cutting that rotational weight, which is where the driving-feel improvement actually comes from.
The Renault 5 Alpine ships from the factory on a 3x130 bolt pattern with a 58.1mm center bore and a 13x5.5J ET45 wheel. Our flush reference for the Renault 5 Alpine is 14x6J ET40.; our maximum aggressive reference is 15x6.5J ET35. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Renault 5 Alpine OE Wheel Specs
The Renault 5 Alpine ships from the factory on 3x130 bolt pattern wheels with a 58.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 13x5.5J ET45, 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 Renault 5 Alpine (1976) we drill the 3x130 pattern and cut the centre bore to 58.1mm 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.

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) | 13x5.5J | ET45 | 5.02 in (128 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 14x6J | ET40 | 5.07 in (129 mm) | +1 mm | +11 mm |
| Maximum | 15x6.5J | ET35 | 5.13 in (130 mm) | +3 mm | +23 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Renault 5 Alpine (3x130, 58.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 30 other Renault entries use exactly the same 3x130 bolt pattern and 58.1 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.
3x130 is used by 0.5% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (31 of 6,503); 100.0% of those also use a 58.1 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 58.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 58.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 60.1 mm | 60.1 → 58.1 mm |
| 63.4 mm | 63.4 → 58.1 mm |
| 64.1 mm | 64.1 → 58.1 mm |
| 65.1 mm | 65.1 → 58.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 58.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 58.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
