Renault 12 TL wheel specs by year and trim
| Year | Model / trim | Bolt pattern | Center bore | OE wheel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1975 | Renault 12 TL Wagon | 3x130 | 58.1 mm | 13x4.5J ET45 |
| 1969 | Renault 12 TL | 3x130 | 58.1 mm | 13x4.5J ET45 |
Factory wheel sizes on the Renault 12 TL
Across the 2 Renault 12 TL trims with a documented factory wheel, the OE diameter is 13 inch, width 4.5J and offset ET45. A forged wheel that keeps the 3x130 bolt pattern and the 58.1 mm hub bore and stays inside that offset range bolts on without spacers or hub rings. Going one inch up in diameter with a lower-profile tyre keeps the rolling circumference inside the usual 1.5% tolerance; every extra 0.5J of width moves the outer lip about 6 mm outward at the same offset, and each 5 mm less offset moves the whole wheel 5 mm outward.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Renault 12 TL (3x130, 58.1 mm Bore)
No other make in our database pairs 3x130 with a 58.1 mm center bore, so wheels taken from other brands need a hub-centric ring or a custom bore.
3x130 is used by 0.5% of the vehicle entries in our database (31 of 6,503); 100.0% of those also use a 58.1 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) | 13x4.5J | ET45 | 4.52 in (115 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 14x5.5J | ET40 | 4.82 in (123 mm) | +8 mm | +18 mm |
| Maximum | 15x6J | ET35 | 4.88 in (124 mm) | +9 mm | +29 mm |
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.

FAQ
What is the bolt pattern on a Renault 12 TL?
The Renault 12 TL uses a 3x130 bolt pattern with a 58.1mm center bore across every 12 TL variant in our database (2 guides, 1969–1975).
What is the Renault 12 TL center bore?
The hub-centric center bore is 58.1 mm. Aftermarket wheels should match this bore or use hub-centric rings so the hub, not the bolts, carries the load.
Do all Renault 12 TL 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 Renault 12 TL?
Any wheel drilled 3x130 with a 58.1mm 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.
