2. Lug nut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lug_nut

   Disc brake with five wheel studs sticking out. Lug nuts may be removed using a lug, socket, or impact wrench. If the wheel is to be removed, an automotive jack to raise the vehicle and some wheel chocks would be used as well. Wheels that have hubcaps or wheel covers need these removed beforehand, typically with a screwdriver, [4] flatbar, or ...

3. Wheel stud - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_stud

   The primary advantage of wheel studs over wheel bolts is greater ease for tire changes by creating the ability to lift both the wheel and tire onto the studs creating the ability to hold and locate the assembly during tire changes rather than trying to hold up the wheel and tire while lining up the holes to insert a bolt. Many wheels that use ...

4. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   The bolt circle has the same center point as the mounting hub to ensure that the wheel will be concentric with the mounting hub. The bolt circle's measurement is called the bolt circle diameter (BCD), [3] also called the pitch circle diameter (PCD). [4] The bolt circle diameter is typically expressed in mm and accompanies the number of bolts in ...

5. Bolt circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_circle

   A bolt circle with four wheel nuts on an Acura. The mounting pattern of most car rims are described using bolt patterns, and this pattern is one of many factors which determine whether a rim will fit a given car. Here, the bolt circle indicates the number of wheel nuts and associated hub bolts (or alternatively just wheel bolts). [5] [6]

6. Centerlock wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerlock_wheel

   A centerlock wheel is a type of automobile wheel in which the wheel is fastened to the axle using a single, central nut, instead of the more common ring of 4 or 5 lug nuts or bolts. It is mostly used in racing and high end sports cars.

7. Lug wrench - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lug_wrench

   Ideally, the nuts (or bolts) should be tightened with a torque wrench. Lug wrenches are much less expensive because they lack the ability to measure or limit the force used. Installing a wheel with a lug wrench thus requires a bit of rough guessing about proper tightness. Excessive force can strip threads or make the nuts very difficult to remove.
