The configuration describes the arrangement of the lug holes on a wheel hub and the corresponding wheel. Specifically, it refers to the diameter of the circle formed by the centers of the lug holes and the number of these holes. For instance, a measurement of 5×120.65 millimeters indicates five lug holes positioned on a circle with a diameter of 120.65 millimeters.
Understanding the wheel mounting specification is crucial for ensuring proper wheel fitment. Using wheels with an incorrect specification can lead to wheel detachment, damage to the vehicle’s hub, and potential safety hazards. Historically, this measurement has been a key factor in determining wheel compatibility across various vehicle makes and models. Adherence to the correct specification ensures proper load distribution and secure fastening.
