Hello,

I'm looking into wheels and notice some wheel specs showing the center bore 72.56mm or 72.6mm...Does it matter or is it generally considered 72.6mm? The car is a 2006 525i non-sport if that helps.

I'm currently on stock 138 wheels and I don't know what the center bore is on that.

Thanks!

The difference is negligeable. .04mm is probably 1/5 thickness of piece of copy paper if not less. You should be fine.

It depends on the source you're reading the specs.

the 72.6 might just be a rounded up 72.56...like anzafin eluded to...could be the source...
