Additional Wheel / Bolt Pattern Measurement Information
Key Identifying Wheel Dimensions: Wheel Bolt or Lug Pattern (or bolt circle, lug circle, lug pattern, etc.) is the measured diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs or bolt holes. Bolt patterns can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 lug holes. A bolt circle of 5 x 4.5 would indicate a 5 lug bolt pattern on a circle with a diameter of 4.5 inches.
Wheel Dimensions
There are four important measurements that are used to categorize and identify a wheel for fitment purposes.
- Rim Diameter The actual diameter of the wheel at the point where the tire bead seats (NOT the outer lip of the rim).
- Rim Width Measure from the inside of the outer lip at the bead seating point to the inner lip.
- Back Spacing From the inside of the wheel at the point where it contacts the hub, brake drum or axle flange to the inside edge (lip) of the wheel.
- Bolt Pattern The measured diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs or bolt holes.
How To Measure Wheel Bolt Pattern
If there is an EVEN number of lugs: Measure center-to-center on lugs directly across from each other.
If there is an ODD number of lugs: Measure from the CENTER of one lug to the OUTER EDGE of the hole diagonally across from it.
Lug Nut Types
Bolt Pattern Torque Sequence / Specifications:
Alloy wheels should always be installed using a torque wrench ensuring proper mount. Check your vehicle owner manual for specifications. Learn More: How To Properly Torque Lug Nuts / Lug Bolts
Hub Center Bore
Hub Center Bore: Relates to the center hole in the wheel that centers the wheel on the hub of the car. Since most wheels are mass produced, they have a large center bore to accommodate several different vehicles. If this is the case, it is recommended that you use a hub ring. Hub rings are hard plastic or metal ring that fits between the wheel and the vehicle. This centers the wheel perfectly on the hub ensuring that there is no run out when the wheel is installed on to the vehicle. Without hub rings it is possible to get vibrations even if the wheel / tire assembly is perfectly balanced.
Wheel Offset
Wheel offset is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true center line of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.
H = High – Positive Offset, typically FWD (Front Wheel Drive) +45, 40, 35 offsets
M = Medium – Neutral Offset, typically RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) +20 offset
L = Low – Zero to Negative Offset, Offset typically RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) 0 offset

ИТАК, вопросы
1) Какой диаметр ступичного отверстия?
2) Кто себе ставил РЕАЛЬНО 17 и 18 размеры, какие отзывы?
3) У Гольф-плюс как можно охарактеризовать подвеску?Жесткая, мягкая или как?

СПАСИБ !
Брал на тест драйв Джету – за 10 минут так и не понял ее подвеску(((
Жесткую(короткоходную) считаю на Хонде, мягую(динноходную) на Тойотах и Хундай

Кстати, кто скажет те шпильки, которые прикручены штатные штампованные диски – они имеют профиль конус или сфера?
И еще, кто ими прикручивал легкосплавные диски, не не оригинальные?

А где брал диски? У официалов?

ПОЛУСФЕРА. Причём, если ставить родные легкосплавные диски, то менять болты не нужно – диски заточены под полусферы.
Если диски не оригинальные, то размер болтов и профиль посадочных мест надо подбирать, исходя из конструкции этих дисков.
EURO » 06 июн 2008, 22:45
Точно полусфера?
Диски, которые нужно установить, точно имеют сверловку под конус
Какая резьба, кто подскажет, и какая длина стоковой шпильки?
Кто прикручивал ей леккосплавные диски оригинальные или реплику – резьбы хватает?

ТОЧНО. 100%. Размеров болта сейчас сказать не могу. У меня они и на стали зимой и сейчас на родном литье. Длины хватает. В родных дисках посадочные места глубоко высверлены. (Диски Tangis = 15″).

родные сфера
м14 х 1,5 x 27,5 (длина 27,5)
реплика под конус, но я купил реплику там каждый диск в коробке в мягкой прокладке и сверху на ободе пластиковое кольцо (чтоб диск не царапать пока везут – прикололо) и к каждому диску комплект болтов под конус.
диски померял на машину, но непереобулся пока.

Additional Wheel / Bolt Pattern Measurement Information
Key Identifying Wheel Dimensions: Wheel Bolt or Lug Pattern (or bolt circle, lug circle, lug pattern, etc.) is the measured diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs or bolt holes. Bolt patterns can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 10 lug holes. A bolt circle of 5 x 4.5 would indicate a 5 lug bolt pattern on a circle with a diameter of 4.5 inches.
Wheel Dimensions
There are four important measurements that are used to categorize and identify a wheel for fitment purposes.
- Rim Diameter The actual diameter of the wheel at the point where the tire bead seats (NOT the outer lip of the rim).
- Rim Width Measure from the inside of the outer lip at the bead seating point to the inner lip.
- Back Spacing From the inside of the wheel at the point where it contacts the hub, brake drum or axle flange to the inside edge (lip) of the wheel.
- Bolt Pattern The measured diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs or bolt holes.
How To Measure Wheel Bolt Pattern
If there is an EVEN number of lugs: Measure center-to-center on lugs directly across from each other.
If there is an ODD number of lugs: Measure from the CENTER of one lug to the OUTER EDGE of the hole diagonally across from it.

Alloy wheels should always be installed using a torque wrench ensuring proper mount. Check your vehicle owner manual for specifications. Learn More: How To Properly Torque Lug Nuts / Lug Bolts
Hub Center Bore
Hub Center Bore: Relates to the center hole in the wheel that centers the wheel on the hub of the car. Since most wheels are mass produced, they have a large center bore to accommodate several different vehicles. If this is the case, it is recommended that you use a hub ring. Hub rings are hard plastic or metal ring that fits between the wheel and the vehicle. This centers the wheel perfectly on the hub ensuring that there is no run out when the wheel is installed on to the vehicle. Without hub rings it is possible to get vibrations even if the wheel / tire assembly is perfectly balanced.
Wheel Offset
Wheel offset is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true center line of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true center line of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.
H = High – Positive Offset, typically FWD (Front Wheel Drive) +45, 40, 35 offsets
M = Medium – Neutral Offset, typically RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) +20 offset
L = Low – Zero to Negative Offset, Offset typically RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) 0 offset
Volkswagen Golf review – Practicality, comfort and boot space
Decent space inside the cabin and the boot make the Golf a solid family car choice
We’re looking at the regular Golf hatchback in this review, although if you need extra practicality from your Golf, it’s also offered in MPV-style SV and five-door estate bodystyles.
While the Golf doesn’t have class-leading interior space, it’s hardly a significant flaw. In both three-door and five-door formats, Volkswagen’s Golf hatchback ticks all the important boxes: it’s got plenty enough space for five passengers and the boot has a practical shape, too. Visibility is better than most hatchbacks in its class, as well.
The Golf seems to grow with each successive generation, and the Mk7 is 150mm longer, 13mm wider and 4mm lower than the Mk6 but it’s still far from being a huge car by class standards.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
There’s loads of space up front, while rear passengers get plenty of head and legroom. The wide, flat rear seat can take three people without too much of a squeeze, although the centre passenger may find things a bit uncomfortable on longer journeys.
Getting in and out is a simple matter (especially with the five-door), and child seats are easy to fit in the back using either the car’s seatbelts or Isofix.
Volkswagen has given the Golf lots of handy storage spaces, including a deep cubby under the front armrest between the driver and front passenger, a large air-conditioned glovebox and numerous cup-holders. Buyers also benefit from vast door bins that are flock-lined to stop their contents from rattling around noisily on the move.
As ever, the large VW boot badge doubles as the tailgate release and opening it reveals a well-shaped 380-litre boot. Better still, there’s a wide opening and low load lip, while below the adjustable-height false boot floor provides a handy hidden storage area. If you need more room, you can liberate a generous 1,270 litres of capacity by folding the 60:40 rear seats; the load platform is usefully flat, too. Useful additions to the load space include a 12V power supply and a pair of bag hooks, plus there’s a ski-flap for longer items.
Of course, those looking for even more practicality can opt for the Estate model with a big 605-litre boot that expands to 1,620 litres with the rear seats folded flat. The Alltrack version retains this practicality, but adds a raised ride height and four-wheel drive for added versatility.
It’s worth noting that the e-Golf and GTE are slightly less practical, because their batteries are mounted under the boot floor. As a result, the e-Golf gets a 343-litre load bay, while the hybrid GTE shrinks to 272 litres. That’s still a very usable amount of space, but you do sacrifice any form of under-floor storage.
Most Golfs can be used for towing (the exceptions are the e-Golf, GTE and R). Depending on model, the maximum unbraked towing capacity varies between 600kg and 670kg, while the braked figure ranges from 1,100kg to 1,600kg.
