What are the wheel hub specifications for the Beidou Star?
2 Answers
The original wheel hub is 13 inches in diameter, 4.5 inches in width, with a 4x100 bolt pattern, ET38 offset, and a center bore of 54.1. The tire size is 165/65R13. Introduction: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner rim to the wheel's center via spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called a wheel rim, steel rim, or simply a rim. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. Types of Wheel Hubs: Wheel hubs, also known as wheel rims, can have different surface treatments depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models. They are broadly categorized into painted and chrome-plated types. For standard vehicles, wheel hubs are designed with less emphasis on aesthetics, with good heat dissipation being a fundamental requirement. The manufacturing process typically involves painting, where the hub is first sprayed and then baked, offering an economical cost, vibrant colors, and long-lasting durability. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the wheel hub remains unchanged.
I've been modifying my Suzuki Wagon R for several years. Wheel specifications are crucial indicators for wheel size. Typically, the original setup features 13 or 14-inch diameter rims with about 5-inch width, a bolt pattern (PCD) of 4x100mm indicating four bolt holes spaced 100mm apart in a circular distribution, center bore (CB) around 57.1mm, and offset (ET) approximately 35mm. These specifications directly affect the vehicle's driving stability. For instance, mismatched PCD when upgrading to larger wheels can cause vibrations, impacting steering and braking safety. Some versions might slightly differ, so it's advisable to check the specific model manual or have measurements taken at a repair shop to ensure compatibility when purchasing, avoiding potential malfunctions. Regular inspections for wheel deformation or rust can also extend service life.
