Talk:Wheel sizing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suck at making this stuff pretty, but I'm pretty sure the content is good. Feel free to fix this all for me. Note that this wheel sizing is only for Automobiles, I have no idea how other things that use wheels are sized. In fact I haven't put said information into practice, and the diagrams I've created myself based on stuff I've read and heard people talk about, but haven't visited the wheel shop yet, to get new tires for my MGB.. :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PbS (talk • contribs).

[edit] good start

That was a good start. You left out centerbore which is very important when considering aftermarket wheels, and also lug nut consideration. Perhaps wheel offset should be explained in more detail along with back spacing, front spacing, and why offset is critical to keeping the wheel from rubbing the fenders, suspension, brakes, etc. A diagram would be good, considering most people confuse offset with backspacing or front spacing.

will work on it more later, maybe even add a seperate entry for offset —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gambleanderson (talk • contribs).

What's up with that disclaimer? It's like putting up a big sign saying "this isn't an encyclopedia article". — Gwalla | Talk 20:07, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Move Tire Size Information

The section titled "Wheel Size" should be moved to the Tire Size entry. It almost no information concerning wheel size. A link to the Tire Size entry should be placed at the bottom of the page.

Also I would recommend splitting the Lug information into another entry. The Lug entry should also have information about Lug Bolts, Studs, and possibly diagrams of everything.

I'll do this all myself when/if I get the time to figure out the Wikipedia scripting language.
