2. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces. The offset is the distance from the wheel's true centerline (half the width) to the wheel's mounting surface. Offset is covered in more detail below. A typical wheel size will be listed beginning with the diameter, then the width, and lastly the offset (+ or - for positive or negative).

3. Axle track - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle_track

   Track (measured between center line of wheels) In automobiles (and other wheeled vehicles which have two wheels on an axle), the axle track is the distance between the hub flanges on an axle. [1] Wheel track, track width or simply track refers to the distance between the centerline of two wheels on the same axle. In the case of an axle with ...

4. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

   The term scrub radius derives from the fact that either in the positive or negative mode, the tire does not turn on its centerline (it scrubs the road in a turn) and due to the increased friction, more effort is needed to turn the wheel. Large positive values of scrub radius, 4 inches/100 mm or so, were used in cars for many years.

5. 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.

6. Rim (wheel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

   The disk is welded in place such that the center of the wheel is equal to the center of the hub. The distance between the centerline of the rim and the mounting plane of the wheel is called the "offset" and can be positive, negative, or zero. [14] One-piece rim and wheel assemblies (see image) may be obtained by casting or forging.

7. Wheel and axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_and_axle

   By varying the radii of the axle and/or wheel, any amount of mechanical advantage may be gained. [18] In this manner, the size of the wheel may be increased to an inconvenient extent. In this case a system or combination of wheels (often toothed, that is, gears) are used. As a wheel and axle is a type of lever, a system of wheels and axles is ...
