How to choose the right wheels hub

Appropriate wheels and high-performance tires can really bring out its strength. The size of the hub can only be determined after the tire to be replaced is selected. Different types of tires have their applicable wheel sizes. For example, a tire with a specification of 215/45R17 requires a wheel width of 7 inches, but a wheel hub of l7×7.5 is also within a reasonable range. Increasing the diameter and width of the hub can enhance the driving stability of the vehicle, improve the heat dissipation performance during braking, increase the stability of the vehicle when turning, and improve the safety performance of the vehicle. However, car owners should not be blindly greedy for large sizes when choosing wheels, because in the case of constant tire outer diameters, large wheels need to be matched with wide and flat tires. Although the lateral swing of the car is reduced and the handling stability is improved, the The flatter the tire, the thinner its thickness, the worse the damping performance, and the greater the sacrifice in comfort. In addition, when encountering roadblocks such as stones, the tires are easily damaged. Therefore, the cost of blindly increasing the hub cannot be ignored. Usually, it is most suitable to add a wheel hub that is one or two sizes larger than the original wheel hub.

When selecting the hub, it is also necessary to match the data of PCD value and offset value. Of course, the number of holes and the data of the PCD value must not be changed. Generally, the offset distance will be appropriately reduced to widen the wheelbase to increase the handling stability of the vehicle. The bolt hole distance and offset distance of the wheel hub must be suitable for the vehicle model.

Since the quality of the wheel is directly related to driving safety, it is necessary to confirm whether the quality is reliable when changing the wheel. It is best to use a product that has passed the quality certification or an internationally renowned brand. The quality is very good and the weight is relatively light, but the price is very expensive. The material of the wheel hub is mainly aluminum-magnesium alloy. The ratio of these two components in different brands of hubs is different. The difference in the ratio leads to the difference in the rigidity and heat dissipation performance of the hub. This is one of the reasons for the price difference of the hub. In addition, the difference in brand, craft, and style also determines the difference in the price of the wheel hub. Rigid, lightweight wheels are relatively good
