Hence mostly 4 holes wheels are compatible with smaller cars and 5 holes wheels are for bigger cars. Number of holes is accompanied by the diagonal distance between these holes which is called PCD for defining any alloy wheel for a car.
We will be talking about PCD in our other article. Here 4 is the number of holes and or is the PCD. You might have noticed there are wheels which have 8 or 10 holes as well. So for which cars are these holes suitable for? But to each his own.
This trailer is rated at : pounds on four wheels - 5 lugs each. I thought that most boat and RV trailers had the spindle that stuck way out to put the outer bearing further out toward the outside of the wheel. On my trailer, the axle was replaced a couple of years ago, it's a different brand and I didn't call out what I needed except for number of lugs and bolt circle.
The new axle has a fairly close fit over the spindle with the wheels which are nearly 25 years old. The close fit looked intentional. Is this what is recommended? I'm sure my manual specifies more like half that. Walt K. Yes they do stick out. I have the optional aluminium wheels from the trailer factory. I suspedt they are Am,erican Racing wheels if the truth were known. And while there is a flange I have to center them carefully with the lug nuts. Check your owners manual.

All 4 rims have the same 5 hole bolt pattern, and same offsets BUT 2 rims have a center hole approx. The center hole is the round hole right smack in the center of the mounting holes and slips over the wheel bearing cap.
The present car I want to put the wheel rims on, normally has wheels with a 3. Wes Fujii. Findeis Peter M fin Eric Zeto. Athos net Mike Graham. The center post certainly helps, but I'd guess that you can run with an oversize with no problems.
Walter A. Speed Freak. The center hole size is important. One thing which separates the best quality aftermarket rims from others is that the best rims either are machined for the specific vehicle or have inserts for the specific vehicle you buy it for.

Rick Colombo. Nathan J. Excerpts from netnews. Just a thought In my last post I mentioned that my doesn't have any kind of fixture other than the lug bolts to hold the wheel in place I'd think that due to the small contact area and the ease of shearing it off no studs, just lower the car and it should shear right off I just got the car, don't worry, I haven't screwed up anything yet but I'd really like to know, as it'd suck if my wheel started doing crazy things in the middle of a 70MPH sweeper TIA, Nate.
Henry H Hansteen. Steve Adderson. Gordon Tedford. Steve Adderson S. Paul in Houston TX. One example: Holden Commodore. All have 5x wheel studs. However, the later models are heavier, so new wheels are stronger. Holden made the centre bore smaller to stop people fitting older wheels, that might not be rated for the load. Steve W. The offset is one of the most important dimensions on the wheel disc.
This is the distance from the imaginary centre of the rim to the inside of the connecting surface. The offset of a wheel disk can be positive, negative or '0 offset'. In double assembly applications, the offset is equal to 'half the double distance'. In this case, the double distance is the distance between the imaginary centre lines of the two rims.
Double distance is used to determine values for tyre clearance, the total vehicle width of tyres, vehicle clearance and, in some cases, the total width of the vehicle. Do you need advice?
