Is It Normal to Have a Gap Between the Tire and the Wheel Hub?

[GiselleMarie]

Normal. Below is relevant information about the wheel hub: 1. Introduction: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel steel inside the tire connected by columns to the wheel core, that is, the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called the rim, steel ring, or wheel disc. 2. Selection factors: size, three distances, shape. 3. Treatment types: Depending on the characteristics and needs of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub will also adopt different methods, which can be roughly divided into two types: painting and electroplating. 4. Causes of deformation: The main reason for wheel hub deformation is collision, which occurs when the tire or wheel hub collides with a hard object. When the vehicle passes over curbs, protruding manhole covers, speed bumps, or potholes at high speed, the tire cannot fully absorb the impact force, and part of the force is transmitted to the wheel hub, causing it to deform.
