  2. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

    The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. 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 ...

  3. Scrub radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius

    Scrub radius is changed whenever there is a change in wheel offset. For example, when the wheels are pushed out from the body of the car the scrub radius becomes more positive. Older cars tended to have very close to zero scrub radius but often on the positive side, while newer cars with ABS tend to have a negative scrub radius (this is why ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Portal axle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_axle

    Comparison between normal and portal axles Pinzgauer portal axle. A portal axle (or portal gear lift) is an off-road vehicle suspension and drive technology where the axle tube or the half-shaft is offset from – usually above – the center of the wheel hub and where driving power is transferred to each wheel via a simple gearbox, built onto each hub. [1]

  6. Rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_mid-engine,_rear...

    RMR layout; the engine is located in front of the rear axle. Rear Mid-engine transversely-mounted / Rear-wheel drive. In automotive design, an RMR, or rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout is one in which the rear wheels are driven by an engine placed with its center of gravity in front of the rear axle, and thus right behind the passenger compartment.

  7. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

    Wheelbase (measured between rotational centers of wheels) Bike geometry parameters: The wheelbase of a bicycle. In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles (e.g. some trucks), the wheelbase is the distance between the ...

  8. Wheel alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_alignment

    Wheel alignment, which is sometimes referred to as breaking or tracking, is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of wheels to the car manufacturer specifications. [1] The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear and to ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without "pulling" to one ...

  9. Car suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

    The wheel rate is calculated by taking the square of the ratio (0.5625) times the spring rate, thus obtaining 281.25 lbs/inch (49.25 N/mm). The ratio is squared because it has two effects on the wheel rate: it applies to both the force and the distance traveled. Wheel rate on independent suspension is fairly straightforward.
