CHECK OUT OUR WHEEL RANGE

It may seem obvious, but a wheel is comprised of a hub, spokes and rim. These parts work together to create the wheel. The hub is the center portion of the wheel and is what attaches the wheel to the suspension. The spokes radiate out from the hub and attach to the rim. The rim is the outer part of the wheel that holds the tyre.

Wheels come in all different styles, sizes, bolt patterns and offsets. So how do we know which wheels will fit your vehicle? Precision Wheels have hired knowledgeable and reliable staff to be able to advise you on the fitment of your car to ensure you get the prefect ride.

Items We Measure or Verify

Bolt Pattern – Not as simple as 4-lug vs. 5-lug. There are currently 17 different 4- to 5-lug bolt lug patterns as well as 6- to 8- lug for light truck/SUV.

Centerbore – The wheel must, in most cases, fit the hub of the vehicle precisely, either as a direct fit or with the use of a centering ring.

Hub Interference – Many vehicles have additional items on the mounting surface area that must be considered for wheel applications, these include locating pins and rotor mounting hardware.

Load Capacity – The wheel must have enough load capacity when compared to the gross axle weight rating of the vehicle.

Lug Hardware – By either supplying lug hardware or using the Original Equipment hardware the wheel must be securely fastened to the vehicle.

Suspension Components – The wheel must clear and not interfere with any of the suspension components and their operation on the vehicle.
