Most people use a 2-5/8” bore for convenience’s sake. That’s 66.675 mm. 


Is there any particular size you are considering? I have not heard of anyone making the bore larger as the Mercedes wheels also came in 66.7 mm. I would trust making them bigger than what has been proven by their engineers. The bigger that bore, the cozier they will be with the holes for the lugbolts/studs.
