Default C6 Hub Diameter

I am looking to put a set of 5 spoke C6 rims on my gto, but I want them to be hub centric. In order for me to get the correct hub diameter conversion, I need this measurement. TIA!

GTO is 69.6mm btw for you guys running the GTO spares as front runners .

The O.D. of my front hub flange is 70.15mm. The I.D. of the hub opening in the wheel is obviously larger, but I can't get my calipers in there to measure it.

Keep in mind that the C6 wheels aren't hub-centric. That center hole gets the wheel close during mounting, but it centers up on the lugs. Like most cars, the lug bores in the wheels are tapered and there are matching tapers on the lug nuts.
