Default hub bore question??

ok, so im looking at some motegi racing sp10 wheels, and their website lists it as wheel that fits the 2011 tc.

my question is, i recall seeing somebody talking about hub bore being 73.1, and this wheel says it is 72.6.

so my question is...will this wheel fit?


Motegi SP10 Black Wheels 18x8 Boltpattern 5x100 & 5x4.5 (5x100 & 5x114.3) Offset 40 Hub Bore 72.7 Partnumber MR27488817

^u need a hubcentric ring that reduces from 72.6 to 60.1. google it and you'll find then easily. at around $5-10/piece i think. You'll see that there are plastic and aluminum hubcentric rings and each has their pro/con from what I've read from my research. Plastic is cheaper but people say that there is a chance of them melting from heat if you take your car to the track. With aluminum, it's more durable but people have reported it cracking from track use or corroding and becoming stuck on the wheel.

That wheel will fit, but it's so close to stock dimensions it will not look flush at all. It will still be sunk in looking. There is much better quality wheels out there for the same price range. Example, my Konig Milligrams in 18x8.5 with a +35 offset. I paid $904 shipped!! Great price imo for a quality wheel. They come in 9.5' width which will fit and be flush but they are not what I am after. The Milligrams are made using Enkei's M.A.T. process making them light and strong. Please explain what kind of fitment you are after and we can help you better. Wheels cost a lot, I hate to see you buy something you are not happy with.

Bump with question:

I am looking to get spacers. I got a pair of 15mm Ichiba v2 spacers (WS-5511460A) that have a center bore of 60.1...matching what was said above. I plan on putting these on the front.

Everywhere you look, it says these spacers are for Lexus models...so I guess they have the same hub specs as our car.

I can't get a hold of the the 20mm versions of those for the rear because everyone is on backorder

I found a set of Eibach spacers that are also for Lexus that have the same bolt pattern, but the bore says 60.0. What gives? Can I still use these?

yeah, 60 and 60.1 seemed to be used interchangeably

Yeah, even on the Ichiba box I got from you it just says "60". Ok...guess I'll go for these. What do you think? They seem to be the same design as the Ichibas...
