Thanks !
At least my factory mags are, hub concentric wheels have a nasty habit of becoming part of the hub.

I just measured the hub myself today and I got 70mm ??? Big difference with the 91mm that was posted...
I'm tring to get a precise measurement so I can get a space made.

What they mean by "hub pilot dia" for that bearing assembly is obviously not what you are thinking of as the wheel hub dia.

I can't believe someone would put those specifications on their web site without a diagram of what each dimension was
! Any way, I agree with Y2Kvert4me, you are looking for the 70.1mm, you will probably want to counter bore the inside of your spacer to clear the 70.6 brake lip, not sure how far out it sticks but it is probably a little past the rotor. I would cut about a .100 chamfer on the inside of the spacers that goes towards the rotors.
I bet the "Hub Pilot Dia G" 91.42mm is the OD of the bearing that fits into the steering knuckle. That would sound about the right size.

I got the hub in hand and yes the part that slides into the spindle appear to be 91mm in diameter
