Evening all. Does anyone know the centre bore size of the 350i (1988) original 15" wheels . Are they hubcentric?. Tried refitting my original wheels today, but the centre bore appears to be the wrong size , also should there be a 10mm spacer fitted. I have uploaded a picture of the rear hub Is this original or an upgrade.
Cheers

My MSW wheels are 67mm at the front and a bit smaller at the back. Sorry, can get the vernier inside the the wheel at the back.

The information I have (from many PH forums) is a 63.5mm (2.5") centre bore. Should the front & back not be the same? All four hubs are Granada are they not?

I've never seen a spacer as a standard fitment on a Wedge, could be a bodgification.
I've always had the impression it was just the taper on the wheel nuts that was centring the wheels biggrin

Thanks for the replies. I will have another look this morning, in daylight . In the picture the 10mm spacer is removed, so I guess the centre bore spacer is still in place and needs to be removed from the hub.

Mine are off at the moment so just measured wheels and hubs - definitely 2.5". Same front and back. They are hubcentric.
