1972 Renault R12 Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1972 Renault R12 Base rolls on a 3x150 bolt pattern with a 60.1mm hub-centric center bore. The factory setup runs 13x4.5 wheels at 36mm offset. You can step up to 13x5, 13x5.5, or 14x5.5 sizes while staying compatible—all bolt straight on without modification.
The critical constraint here is the 3x150 bolt pattern; no other pattern will fit this vehicle. Since your R12 demands hub-centric wheels, verify any aftermarket option has a center bore matching or larger than 60.1mm, and use hub-centric rings if necessary. Aggressive offset changes risk interference with fenders and suspension, so stick within the listed compatible sizes to avoid rubbing issues.
