Center Hub Bore on 2017 HB Sport Touring

ahdee · May 23, 2017

My apologies - not a car guy and still learning the ropes...

I was thinking about new rims on the 2017 HB Sport Touring and was thinking about sticking with the same OEM 18" sizing.
I understand the OEM rim sizing is 18x8 5x114.3 with a +50 offset, but does anyone know what the center bore size is?

I have two wheels in mind that both meet those specs however one wheel has 72.60mm hub bore size and the other is 75.00mm.

Would it be best to find a wheel that matches exactly so it doesn't need spacers/adapters?
Would those two rims even fit with/without spacers?

Thank you!

Welcome!
The HB Sport center bore is 64.1. so for those wheels to fit right, you would need hubcentric center rings.
or else you will have a nasty vibration. so 72.60 down to 64.10

People on here have been putting on 15mm-20mm spacers on their OEM wheels to make the wheels more flush with the fender. so if you don't want spacers or adapters find a wheel with the right offset
18x8.5 with a +35 - +45 and that should fit right on. there is tons of wheel threads on here and they show fitments with pictures. Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply! For some reason I had the number 75mm in my head... but 64.10 is the one!

oooh, so the OEM 18" on the sport touring is a +45 offset? I recall seeing somewhere in another thread the OEMs have an offset of +50.
either way, +35 to +45... gotcha!

OEM is + 50. Most people on the aftermarket wheels have been in between +35 + 45 . less than +30 would probably cause rubbing or needing to roll the fenders. or having wheel poke. i got 18x8.5 +42 lowered on Sportlines and camber kit on the rear and it sits perfect on the fender.

I see. Great information; very much appreciated!

Just so you didn't miss it --

Make sure you get centering rings (aka "hub rings", "hub centric rings"). Any wheel retailer worth its salt will include them. Make sure you get aluminum rings, too; I've heard of cheap plastic rings melting if you put too much braking heat into them.

If you get wheels without centering rings, you can get them from some shops online. Tire Rack won't sell them separately (at least, they wouldn't when I asked them), so go to Discount Tire Direct or Evasive Motorsports instead.

Plastic ones are ok for daily driving. only have to worry about that if you are racing the car.
and if you order wheels from Tirerack, the center rings will come included with the wheels (and lug nuts too)

if the center bore doesn't match with the wheels/cars

If anyone can help me, what kind of center rings do I have to get if I want 73.1 center bore wheels but need them to be 64.10??

They'll be labeled with both those numbers. (that's about all the info that's necessary)
