Understanding 1968 Porsche 911 Wheel Fitment

Getting the right wheel fitment on your 1968 Porsche 911 comes down to four critical measurements:

Bolt Pattern: 5x130

The bolt pattern (also called PCD) is the most fundamental fitment spec — it determines which wheels will physically bolt onto your car. The 1968 Porsche 911 uses a 5x130 pattern, which is shared with many other Porsche models. This means you have a massive selection of aftermarket wheels to choose from.

Center Bore: 71.6mm

The center bore is the hole in the middle of the wheel that sits over your hub. The 1968 Porsche 911 has a 71.6mm center bore. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger bore (which is common), you'll need hub-centric rings to eliminate vibration at highway speeds. We include the correct hub rings with every wheel and tire package.

Offset & Width

Offset determines how far the wheel sits inward or outward relative to the hub face. A lower offset pushes the wheel outward for a more aggressive, flush look. A higher offset tucks the wheel further under the fender for a conservative fitment. The factory offset of +42 is a good baseline — going 5-15mm lower will give you a more flush look.
