996 rear wheel hub diameter measurement

I just purchased a set of used BSA 215a from my dealer for my 99 C2. The fronts fit beautifully … snug fit to the hub, however the rear has some play on the hub. I figured I'll need to get a set of hub centric rings for proper fitment.

In checking the BSA website, the specs shows the center hole for the BSA rim to be 73.1 mm. My measurement with a tape measure is 74mm.

I measured the rear hub and I have 2 3/4" or 70mm. Could someone validate that the measurement for the rear hub (70mm) is correct as I had a bit of a challenge measuring with the notches on the hub, plus it helps to validate with other Porsche enthusiast who is alot more familiar with the car.

Thanks

Another reason to buy rims that are hubcentric.
