The centerbore for the MINI is 56mm, right? on Centerline's page for the RPM, it lists the hub bore as 72.62mm. Is there a difference between what's called a centerbore vs a hub bore? Does this mean that any wheel that has a centerbore greater than 56mm will work fine for the MINI?

What extra precautions are necessary if they don't match? Thanks for any insight!

For the Centerline RPM rims in 17x7" for use with your MINI you will require centering rings which fit the inside of the hub opening on the rims at 72.62mm and have an inner diameter opening just right for the 56.1 mm hub of the MINI. Just tell them it is for a MINI.

The centering rings look like hard plastic thin doughnuts or rings and adapt your aftermarket wheel hub opening to the size of the stock MINI hub.
