Hi Chris,

Well, you got me wondering. So I hopped in my '90 Westy and drove over to my
garage, where my (T3 1988) Syncro is right now. I removed a front wheel, you
can''t easily measure the bore directly because of the star-shaped hole. So
I measured the hub itself. 66.5 mm. So, allowing for a little rust, it will
take a 66mm bore for a wheel to fit on my Syncro.

If when you say Syncro you are referring to the T3 then its actually 60mm.
60mm is almost hubcentric. I had mine bored to 61mm when I put them on the
2wd. A little loose now on the Syncro..
