Center Bore Explained
The center bore of the wheel is the circular hole in the middle of the wheel. It functions as a place for the wheels to sit perfectly onto the car’s axle and minimize vibration when being driven. Even with proper balancing on all of your car’s tyres, you can experience vibration on your wheels if your car and your wheels did not have the same center bore on the wheels. It’s easier to just use the wheels that came with the car, as they already have the perfect center bore for the car’s axles.
