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.

Bolt Pattern

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

[FILL: what this means on the GMC Sierra 3500 HD specifically]

[FILL: diagram or photo: offset & backspacing on a GMC Sierra 3500 HD]

Offset & Backspacing

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

[FILL: diagram or photo: center bore on a GMC Sierra 3500 HD]

Center Bore

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