Need help with Centre bore / Hub bore

[GolfR64]

Gday fellow members


I have a chance to get BBS SR rims in 17" for my Mk6 R
Wanted to go down a size and eventually go with 245X45X17 to fill in the wheel arch
The sellers states the Hub bore is 82mm where as the Mk6r is 57.1mm .
My question is what am I missing or should I go elsewhere for the rims

cheers

I believe you will need suitable hub rings. The best option is to buy rims with the correct hub size to suit your car, but lots of wheel manufacturers will make a certain bore size and then sell hub rings to suit various other cars:

Thanks Lucas .. A world of information

In addition to Lucas' info above, you can also look at Ebay for hub rings. Do not get the cheap plastic ones as they deform almost instantly and create a wobble, get proper aluminum ones. Can be substantially cheaper than brand names and just as good.
