The configuration of lug nuts on a vehicle’s wheel hub, specifically for the specified year and model, is a critical parameter for wheel fitment. This specification describes the diameter of the circle formed by the centers of the wheel studs, and the number of studs used. As an example, a 6×127 configuration indicates six studs arranged on a circle with a 127-millimeter diameter. This measurement is crucial when selecting aftermarket wheels or replacing existing ones.
Adherence to the correct configuration is paramount for safety and proper vehicle operation. Utilizing wheels with an incorrect specification can lead to wheel detachment, damage to the vehicle’s hub, and compromised braking performance. The design has remained consistent for the specified model year, ensuring compatibility within that production run. Understanding this specification allows for informed decisions regarding wheel upgrades or replacements, maintaining vehicle integrity and performance.
