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
SUVs carry more curb weight higher off the ground, so wheel strength and rotational mass both matter more than on a comparable sedan — a heavier wheel amplifies body roll and slows steering response exactly where the platform is already working hardest. Forging keeps the wheel light without giving up the load rating the factory suspension geometry was tuned around.
The Rinspeed Chopster ships from the factory on a 5x130 bolt pattern with a 71.6mm center bore and a 23x10J ET45 wheel. Our flush reference for the Rinspeed Chopster is 23x11J ET40.; our maximum aggressive reference is 24x11J ET35. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Rinspeed Chopster OE Wheel Specs
The Rinspeed Chopster ships from the factory on 5x130 bolt pattern wheels with a 71.6mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 23x10J 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 Rinspeed Chopster (2005) we drill the 5x130 pattern and cut the centre bore to 71.6mm 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) | 23x10J | ET45 | 7.27 in (185 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 23x11J | ET40 | 7.57 in (192 mm) | +8 mm | +18 mm |
| Maximum | 24x11J | ET35 | 7.38 in (187 mm) | +3 mm | +23 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Rinspeed Chopster (5x130, 71.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 294 other vehicle entries from 10 makes use exactly the same 5x130 bolt pattern and 71.6 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.
5x130 is used by 5.8% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (375 of 6,503); 78.7% of those also use a 71.6 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 71.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 71.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 71.6 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 71.6 mm |
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 71.6 mm |
| 76.1 mm | 76.1 → 71.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 71.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Rinspeed Chopster use?
The 2005 Rinspeed Chopster uses a 5x130 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Rinspeed Chopster use?
The Rinspeed Chopster uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x130), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Rinspeed Chopster?
The Rinspeed Chopster's center bore is 71.6mm. 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 Rinspeed Chopster?
Factory wheels on the Rinspeed Chopster are 23x10J ET45.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Rinspeed Chopster?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 23x11J at ET40 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Rinspeed Chopster.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Rinspeed Chopster?
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 Rinspeed Chopster?
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 7.57" 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 Rinspeed Chopster?
The Rinspeed Chopster 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.
