The configuration of the wheel mounting studs on the redesigned vehicle is a critical specification. It refers to the diameter of the circle formed by the wheel studs and the number of studs used. For example, a “6×139.7” specification indicates a six-stud configuration on a circle with a 139.7mm diameter. This measurement dictates wheel compatibility and is essential for safe and secure wheel mounting.
This dimensional characteristic is paramount for ensuring proper wheel fitment, maintaining vehicle handling stability, and preventing potential mechanical failures. Historically, variations in this specification have reflected changes in vehicle design, load capacity, and performance requirements. Adherence to the correct standard is essential for safety and optimal performance.
