Tire & Wheel Care


Bolt pattern

Subaru Forester stud pattern - Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) defines the diameter of the imaginary circle drawn by the centers of the wheel lugs and describes the number of the lug holes incorporated by the rim. How to change bolt pattern? Use Adapters


Stock Wheel Offset

The space between the hub mounting surface and the wheel center of Forester wheels. If you need a different offset use Wheel Spacers


Center Bore (Hub Bore)

The hole in the middle of a rim that exactly matches the hub diameter. It is located at the back of the wheel and as the car's hub goes into this hole it ensures the wheel gets centered correctly. Stock Forester wheels have a perfect centerbore fit with the hub. How to fit rims with larger centre bore? Use Hub Centric Rings


Custom Offset Range

Is calculated from the data of modified Subaru Forester that switched to custom wheel size preserving the proper driving capabilities of the vehicle.


Thread Size

Lug Nuts size. Measures the thread diameter, the thread pitch, and the thread length. In the metric system, the diameter of the thread, the first digit, is described in millimeters.


Rim Sizes Range

Gives an idea about the maximum and minimum allowable limits of the wheels diameter and width matching the specific vehicle. Try Hubcaps to change the look of your wheels


Custom Rim Sizes Range

Tire Pressure importance


A digital tire pressure gauge is a must-have tool for checking the tire pressure and keeping it within a permissible range. You can quickly measure the pressure once the visual examination of the wheel evoked a shade of doubt. Still don't have one? Review the best digital tire pressure gauges forming a perfect seal with the valve stem without leaking air, even at night times. Find a perfect combination by choosing the right car air compressor to regulate the pressure in deflated or over-inflated tires.
