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) | 16x5.5J | ET10 | 3.64 in (93 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 16x7J | ET25 | 4.98 in (127 mm) | +34 mm | +4 mm |
| Maximum | 17x7J | ET22 | 4.87 in (124 mm) | +31 mm | +7 mm |
Hub-Centric Rings for a 56.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 56.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 57.1 mm | 57.1 → 56.6 mm |
| 60.1 mm | 60.1 → 56.6 mm |
| 63.4 mm | 63.4 → 56.6 mm |
| 64.1 mm | 64.1 → 56.6 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 56.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 56.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.

FAQ
What is the bolt pattern on a Lotus Elise SC?
The Lotus Elise SC uses a 4x100 bolt pattern with a 56.6mm center bore across every Elise SC variant in our database (2 guides, 2008).
What is the Lotus Elise SC center bore?
The hub-centric center bore is 56.6 mm. Aftermarket wheels should match this bore or use hub-centric rings so the hub, not the bolts, carries the load.
Do all Lotus Elise SC years share the same wheel fitment?
The bolt pattern and center bore are the same across the years we cover, but OE wheel width and offset differ by trim, so check the exact model line before choosing an aftermarket size.
Which forged wheels fit the Lotus Elise SC?
Any wheel drilled 4x100 with a 56.6mm hub bore in the offset range shown on the model guide. ANKUSI forges wheels to order for this exact specification, in 14–24 inch diameters, so no adapters or hub rings are needed.
