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.
