Default A8 D2 Alloy Wheel Centre Hole Size

Gents,

Slightly odd question but I would like to know how big the hole in the middle of the alloys is?

Reason being is I am buying some heavy duty hooks to wall mount some spare wheels and I do not have access to them not to measure the size.

I want to make sure the hook on the hook fits though!

Thank you as always.

I'll just go and measure my winter wheels, back soon!

Interesting and inconsistent!
About 58mm dia at the back.
PF 18" Avus are the same at the front. FL Avus 18" more like 52mm or 53mm.

Which wheels exactly, the front hole diameter should be findable to a reasonable accuracy online by looking at the spec of the centre caps.

Thanks those figures should be fine, I will just make sure the hook of the hook is 5cm or less.

Spec for the hub (rear hole) is 57.1mm
However the hole in the front will vary on the clip size for the centre cap as stated above.
So it all depends whether you want the hook to go completely through the wheel or not??
