Hub Bore of FD rims?

would anyone happen to know the hub bore of the regular 16x8 stock FD rims?

im also interested to know if the FD 16x8 efini (typeR, bathurstR) rims would have the same hub bore? if i'm not mistaken they are different, no? and why would they be different?!

EDIT: or am i just being stupid?

You're not being stupid but you are being lazy -- a simple search would have turned this info up.

The FD uses 67.1mm bores. All FDs use this bore size.

ahhh thank you for confirming the info... i figured it would have been 67.1mm ... although i jumped to conclusions thinking the rims did not have the "right" bore, but my hubs are in fact the problem and not the rims.... for the oddest reason my rear hubs (despite being 67.1mm) will not fit without a spacer... the fronts are fine... (attempted to fit on a mazda6)

thanks again.

Your problem on the Mazda6 may not be the centerbore but interference with possibly the damper in the rear or a trailling arm or control arm. This is my guess.

ARD_T2,

i figured it out.. it's the dust cap covering the centre hub.. anyway, the 3mm spacer was perfect ... love these FD rims... its a tight fit but definitely fits...

Great, ya the FC has a crazy phat dust cap also. Pretty easy fix. ya that wheel is a good offset for hte Mazda6. If you remove the dustcap it might work also, no? But that might work best in a dry area like cali. hehe.
