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.
