What is the diameter of a 17-inch wheel hub in centimeters?
1 Answers
The diameter of a 17-inch wheel hub is 43.18 centimeters, as 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters. Below is additional information about tires: 1. Tire radius and the tires compatible with the wheel hub: The tire radius depends on the tires compatible with the wheel hub. For example, a tire with the specification 205/65R16 has a width of 205 mm (contact width with the ground), a 65% aspect ratio (i.e., the sidewall height is 65% of the tire width), and a 16-inch wheel hub. The tire diameter is calculated as twice the sidewall height plus the wheel hub diameter. With a sidewall height of 13.325 cm, the tire diameter is 67.29 cm. 2. Tire size range for different vehicle types: Small cars with engine displacements between 0.8-1.5 liters typically use front tires in the range of 155/65R1373T to 175/70R1477H. Large cars with engine displacements between 1.6-6.0 liters generally use tires in the range of 185/60R14 to 245/50R18. 3. Types of tires: Internationally standardized tire codes represent the section width in millimeters and the aspect ratio as a percentage. These are followed by: tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (maximum load capacity code), and speed rating. For example, in 175/70R1477H, 175 indicates a tire width of 175 mm, 70 means the aspect ratio is 70% (sidewall height is 70% of the width), the rim diameter is 14 inches, the load index is 77, and the speed rating is H.
