Is it time to change the wheel hub of your new energy vehicle? Or do you want to upgrade the appearance and performance? Don't underestimate these four wheel hubs. If you don't choose the right wheel hub, you will feel uncomfortable when driving! Today, let's talk about practical tips on how to choose Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles.
New energy vehicles carry a large battery pack, and their weight is generally much heavier than that of fuel vehicles of the same level. This means that load-bearing capacity is the bottom line! When buying Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles, be sure to see its maximum load index. Don't just look for cheap or good-looking, and choose a wheel hub of poor quality. If the original wheel hub is marked with "Max Load 800kg", the new wheel hub must not be lower than this number, it is better to be high than low!
Strong and durable is the king, and cast aluminum alloy wheels are given priority. Forged wheels are the top choice for those with sufficient budget and pursuit of extreme lightness and strength. Don't touch the particularly cheap wheel hubs, no matter how good they look. Safety is no small matter!
The hole spacing is the diameter of the circle where the screw holes are distributed on the Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles. This must be perfectly matched to your car model! 5×112, 5×114.3... 1 mm difference will not fit.
The center hole is the diameter of the big hole in the middle of the wheel hub. The center hole of the new wheel hub must be ≥ the diameter of your axle head. If it is smaller, it will not fit in. If it is larger, you need to add a reducer to fill the gap and ensure that the installation is centered and stable. Without it, the steering wheel may shake when running!
The offset determines whether the wheel hub shrinks into the body or bulges outward. It is strongly recommended to choose a wheel hub close to the original ET value! If the deviation is too large, it will rub the fender at the least, and affect the steering and even the life of the suspension and bearings at the worst. Want to modify the effect? Consult a professional store first to see if it is feasible!
Unsprung mass refers to the weight of the components below the suspension system. In theory, the lighter the better! What are the benefits? First, it reduces the burden of starting and accelerating. The suspension reacts more quickly when cornering and bumping. Pursue lightweighting while ensuring sufficient strength and load. Safety and reliability are always the first priority! Don't sacrifice safety to reduce a few dozen grams.
Many people want to change to a larger Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles, such as from 18 inches to 19/20 inches, which is indeed more domineering!
But we must pay attention to compatibility, and the overall tire outer diameter cannot change significantly! After changing to a large wheel hub, the tire aspect ratio must be reduced accordingly, and ultimately ensure that the total height of the tire is close to the original factory. Otherwise, the speedometer and odometer will be inaccurate, and it may also affect the electronic control system. Can it be installed? The large Wheel Hub for Energy Vehicles is matched with a low-profile tire. Make sure that it will not rub against the brake caliper, suspension components inside, and the wheel arch outside. It is best to find an experienced store to confirm.
