Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Lotus Exige (5x114.3, 68.1 mm Bore)
In our database, 49 other vehicle entries from 4 makes use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 68.1 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.
5x114.3 is used by 20.1% of the vehicle entries in our database (1,284 of 6,396); 6.1% of those also use a 68.1 mm center bore.
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) | 17x7.5J | ET26 | 5.27 in (134 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 17x8J | ET20 | 5.29 in (134 mm) | 0 mm | +12 mm |
| Maximum | 18x8.5J | ET18 | 5.46 in (139 mm) | +5 mm | +21 mm |
Hub-Centric Rings for a 68.1 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 68.1 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 70.1 mm | 70.1 → 68.1 mm |
| 70.5 mm | 70.5 → 68.1 mm |
| 71.6 mm | 71.6 → 68.1 mm |
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 68.1 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 68.1 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 68.1 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.

FAQ
What is the bolt pattern on a Lotus Exige?
The Lotus Exige uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern on most variants we cover with a 68.1mm center bore. Other generations use 4x100 / 56.6mm (2005–2010). Always check the exact year and trim before ordering.
What is the Lotus Exige center bore?
The hub-centric center bore is 68.1 mm on the most common generation; see the table for variants. Aftermarket wheels should match this bore or use hub-centric rings so the hub, not the bolts, carries the load.
Do all Lotus Exige years share the same wheel fitment?
No. The bolt pattern or center bore changed between generations, so wheels are not interchangeable across all years. Use the year-by-year table on this page to pick the right specification.
Which forged wheels fit the Lotus Exige?
Any wheel drilled 5x114.3 with a 68.1mm 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.
