Wheel Fitment Formula:
From: | To: |
The Wheel-It-Fit Wheel Fitment Calculator helps determine wheel poke using width, offset, and hub measurements. It provides accurate assessment of how wheels will fit on a vehicle, ensuring proper clearance and alignment.
The calculator uses the wheel fitment formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates how far the wheel will extend beyond the fender (positive poke) or sit inside the fender (negative poke).
Details: Proper wheel fitment is crucial for vehicle safety, handling performance, and preventing damage to suspension components and fenders.
Tips: Enter wheel width, offset, and hub measurements in millimeters. All values must be valid numerical measurements for accurate results.
Q1: What is wheel poke?
A: Wheel poke refers to how much the wheel extends beyond the fender line. Positive values indicate the wheel sticks out, negative values indicate it sits inside.
Q2: Why is offset important in wheel fitment?
A: Offset determines how the wheel sits relative to the hub mounting surface, affecting clearance with suspension components and fenders.
Q3: What are typical values for wheel fitment?
A: Values vary by vehicle and desired fitment style. Always consult vehicle-specific fitment guides and local regulations.
Q4: Can incorrect wheel fitment cause problems?
A: Yes, improper fitment can lead to rubbing, handling issues, premature tire wear, and damage to vehicle components.
Q5: Should I consider other factors beyond poke?
A: Yes, also consider inner clearance, suspension travel, tire size, and local laws regarding wheel protrusion beyond fenders.
