What is the size of the Wuling Zhiguang tire bolts?
2 Answers
The tire bolts of the Wuling Zhiguang are size 19. The anti-theft principle of the tire bolts involves machining the outer diameter of the anti-theft bolts into an irregular shape, requiring the use of a specialized removal tool that matches the wheel to remove it. Using just one anti-theft bolt per wheel can achieve the anti-theft effect, fully ensuring the safety of the car tires. The Wuling Zhiguang is a model under SAIC-GM-Wuling, with body dimensions of 3695mm in length, 1495mm in width, and 1860mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2500mm. The Wuling Zhiguang features a four-spoke steering wheel, popular in international sedans, offering better handling and a more relaxed and enjoyable driving experience. The (standard model) frame is made of magnesium-aluminum alloy die-casting (used in most sedans), which is lightweight and high-strength.
I remember when I helped a friend repair a Wuling Sunshine before, the lug nuts were mostly 12mm in diameter with a pitch of 1.25mm—basically the common M12x1.25 standard size. Since it's a minivan, this size is pretty typical for the wheel hubs. When working on it yourself, you’ll need a 21mm socket wrench to avoid stripping or damaging the nuts. Before changing a tire, it’s best to remove one or two nuts first to confirm the size and prevent mistakes. Safety comes first—if the size doesn’t match, the wheel could loosen, which is especially dangerous at high speeds. Regular maintenance should include checking for rust or overtightened nuts to keep them in good condition and extend their lifespan. Learning these basics can save you a trip to the mechanic and avoid being overcharged.
