4. How Wheel Fitment Works

A wheel has to match the hub, clear the brakes and suspension, and place the tire where it won't rub. Five measurements decide that.

[FILL: diagram or photo: bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Colorado]

Bolt Pattern

The number of lugs and the circle they sit on must match the hub exactly.

[FILL: diagram or photo: offset & backspacing on a Chevrolet Colorado]

Offset & Backspacing

Offset sets how far in or out the wheel sits, which decides poke and rubbing.

Hub-centric fitment keeps the wheel centered and vibration-free.
