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 Renault Twizy ships from the factory on a 3x98 bolt pattern with a 60.1mm center bore and a F 13x4J ET35 / R 13x4.5J ET35 wheel. Our flush reference for the Renault Twizy is 13x4.5J ET30.; our maximum aggressive reference is 14x5J ET25. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Renault Twizy OE Wheel Specs
The Renault Twizy ships from the factory on 3x98 bolt pattern wheels with a 60.1mm center bore. The stock wheel size is F 13x4J ET35 / R 13x4.5J 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 Renault Twizy (2012) we drill the 3x98 pattern and cut the centre bore to 60.1mm 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) | 13x4J | ET35 | 3.88 in (99 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 13x4.5J | ET30 | 3.93 in (100 mm) | +1 mm | +11 mm |
| Maximum | 14x5J | ET25 | 3.98 in (101 mm) | +3 mm | +23 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Renault Twizy (3x98, 60.1 mm Bore)
No other make in our database pairs 3x98 with a 60.1 mm center bore, so wheels taken from other brands need a hub-centric ring or a custom bore.
3x98 is used by <0.1% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (1 of 6,503); 100.0% of those also use a 60.1 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 60.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 60.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 63.4 mm | 63.4 → 60.1 mm |
| 64.1 mm | 64.1 → 60.1 mm |
| 65.1 mm | 65.1 → 60.1 mm |
| 66.1 mm | 66.1 → 60.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 60.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 60.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
