Wheel Centre Holes

Postby Alby » Mon Apr 18, 2005 4:47 am

Just wondering if anyone knows the right size for GTA wheel centre holes. I had thought they would be the same as an R25 which are 60.1mm, but on doing a rough measurement on the weekend, they seem to be more like 59mm. I don't have anything that can measure down to 10ths of mm's, so reliable info would be helpfull.

This is so I can start the search for a new set of wheels. Azev's don't seem to be very available in Australia and importing them would be prohibitively expensive.

The GTA runs 4 x 100 pcd all round with a 60.1 centre bore and a 38mm offset front and 15mm offset rear,

Always good to try the site's search facility and Good luck finding some wheels.

Great Simon. Thanks very much for the precise info. Obviously, my ruler wasn't a very good way to measure this and I should invest in some decent measuring equipment.

colour, just pick what looks good to you, yes that is the offset. Be carefull otherwise your tyres could rub on your arches at one end of the suspension travel.(MOT failure).

Ah, I can ship a set of 4 Azevs for £185 to OZ now if that helps...

Cheaper if you can get a few more people interested...

What are you trying to work out. Apart from whats on my site, there isnt much else available without swapping studpatterns..

You need 8-10" rear with 5-15mm offset and fronts need to be around 7" with around 40-45mm offset. Fronts are not a problem, but you never find any manufacturers that do rear wheels that wide and are not 5 stud....

Im able to this wheel now...very lightweight too, 8kgs each

8x17" rears (with PCD changing hub adaptors), 7x17" fronts £695.00 wheels only.

You'd run a 205/40/17 on the front and probably circa 225/45/17 rear
