The hole on my Phoenix tow hooks is 2". That should work for just about any towing situation.

SCCA and other groups want a minimum 2" hole. The C 4 tow hooks that I make have a oval hole measuring 2" x 2 1/4" or 2" x 2 1/2" . This should be accepted by all. Remember, the tow truck operator needs to stuff a hook or a strap (doubled) through that hole.
