The configuration detailing how a wheel attaches to a vehicle hub is critical for ensuring proper fitment and safe operation. This configuration defines the number of lug studs and the diameter of the circle they form on the hub. An incorrect specification can lead to wheel instability and potential failure.
Adherence to the manufacturer’s intended specifications is paramount for maintaining vehicle integrity and performance. Utilizing the appropriate configuration ensures balanced weight distribution and minimizes stress on the wheel and hub assembly. Historically, consistent parameters for wheel attachment have evolved to standardize manufacturing and simplify maintenance procedures.
