Wheel Center Bore (CB)

[Fly4ever]

I have an argument with a Dutch wheel & tires dealer (GivaWheels) about Macan EV wheel Center Bore.He insists it's 66.6,same as ICE Macan, rather than 71.6 I see in several web sited specialized on the subject. As far as I know the ICE version wheels aren't compatible with the EV one without modifications and the CB value is also different among others.
Could someone please confirm which one of the two values are the correct one?Also,if any of our Dutch friends in here have any knowledge or experience with the specific shop I certainly would like to be informed and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

It's 71.5mm, just like its PPE cousins, the Audi Q6/SQ6 etron

I believe this to be incorrect, I also had a disagreement with my dealer: Tirerack about the available wheels for the Macan EV and the center bore. They insisted that it was 66.6 after their measurements and I referenced the online data indicating the 71.5 number. (https://www.wheel-size.com/size/porsche/macan/2024-now/)

So for my own peace of mind, I took my wheel off yesterday and measured the hub bore myself as well as the bolt pattern and can definitely confirm that the hub bore is 66.6mm and the bolt pattern is 5 x 130.
The online data seems to be incorrect. I feel that they may be transposing the information from the Taycan and etron gt as they have a hub bore of 71.5 and bolt pattern of 5x130 which I have confirmed on my Taycan.
I am in search of a full size spare (front wheel) and have been trying to get a second hand one in eBay, but none available yet. Will likely go with the one available from the tire rack.

TLDR: I have confirmed and measured myself the hub bore to be 66.6 mm on the Macan EV and I suspect the PPE cousins are the same.

Then the shop not only is so unforgiving ignorant on such a major subject but also tries to sell me something that will definitely not fit the car in any case!!!
Are there any hard evidence/data from Porsche - like the car manual/handbook - where the correct CB values can be found? I suspect that this would be something the wheel shop couldn't deny as the correct ones!

Your dealer is correct, I have measured them myself and it is 66.6 mm.

The easily accessible online source for this data seems to be incorrect (https://www.wheel-size.com/size/porsche/macan/2024-now/)

I believe that the online source may have confused the hub bore(center bore) with the Taycan/etron GT which do indeed have a 71.5 mm hub bore as I have also measured that myself on my Taycan.

Macan and Taycan do have a 5 x 130 bolt pattern though, the ICE Macan has a bolt pattern of 5 x 112 so is not be compatible with EV Macan

In this case my previous post is wrong as I was also wrong and te shop is correct and know their job well,but like you said there's a lot of misinformation all over the web. Many thanks for the clarification!!
I certainly appreciate!!

My pleasure, I had the same frustration as you hence my pursuit of the data myself. My back does not like me as a result, LOL!

But please note that the ICE Macan has a bolt pattern of 5 x 112 and not 5 x 130 so they are not compatible from ICE Macan to EV Macan.

I'm aware of the different bolt pattern as well as the differences in ET values. I found wheels made exclusively for Macan EV, they're forged and lightweight and custom made by Korbach. There're also other brands like BBS, Concaver, Judd and JapanRacing (JR) making already wheels for the car however Korbach are the ones with the best max weight load per wheel (1350Kg) while the others are slightly weaker ranging from 750-860Kg per wheel.
BTW is there a chance to have a clue what is the original Porsche wheel max weight load? There're some pretty nice designs out there but I'm really concerned and skeptical because their max load isn't that high as with Korbach wheels.

I live 5km from Giva Wheels in Goirle, they have a good reputation in the area with good staff.
I have no experience with GV Wheels myself.

May thanks @Frankie for the info, most likely I'll try them out if their shipping prices are reasonable enough because I think they ship only locally and Belgium. Seems the shop is one of the few out there offering such a wide variety of lightweight forged wheels for Macan EV right now.
