Wheel Dimensions

There are four important measurements that are used to categorize and identify a wheel for fitment purposes.

How To Measure Wheel Bolt Pattern

If there is an EVEN number of lugs: Measure center-to-center on lugs directly across from each other.

Hub Center Bore

Hub Center Bore: Relates to the center hole in the wheel that centers the wheel on the hub of the car. Since most wheels are mass produced, they have a large center bore to accommodate several different vehicles. If this is the case, it is recommended that you use a hub ring.

Wheel Offset

Wheel offset is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true center line of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more.
