Mercedes Center Bores? 66.5mm or 66.56mm?
I'm reading different things online whether or not the hub bores for our X166 are 66.5mm or 66.56mm (yes I know minimal difference).

Which one is actually correct from factory?

This states 66.5mm:

As does H&R spacers (66.5mm) and Brabus (66.5mm).

So I'm thinking 66.5mm is correct.

Best way to know for sure is to measure them yourself. Do you have a caliper?

Does it matter? Do you realize how small .06mm is?

Measured.

Hub bore is 66.56mm.

Wheels bore should be cut to 66.59mm or 66.60mm.
