I found a set of wheels that I want to buy however the center bore of the wheels is listed as 71.5 vs 71.6 that is listed for 997.2s. I need some help understanding if it's possible for these wheels to fit.

Thanks

 

They should fit but will be a tight on the center bore. That's not a bad thing as the lug bolts should be able to draw then in flush, but removal may take some banging with a mallet. IMO, 71.5 is better than 71.7 which can cause high speed vibration issues. The wheels should fit onto the hubs with just a bit of force or pressure from the lug bolts. If they slide right on, they don't center as well.

If when you try to mount them, they're just too tight, put a small grinding wheel on a drill and enlarge the center bore just slightly. Keep it moving around in a circle as you go and don't grind in one spot.

 

Thanks for the feedback. The wheel company said that the actual bore is 71.56 and they can do 71.6 if that is what I want. 71.56 is very precise. Is the hub center bore 71.5mm exact?

 

Porsche wheel spec is a center bore of 71.6mm. 71.56 or 71.6 should be fine. I tend to like them fitting tighter vs looser.

 

This is great info and thanks for sharing.
