What You Should Know About Wheel Specs
Before we delve into the Haval H6 specifications, let’s familiarize ourselves with some of the terminologies:
- Rim Size: The diameter of the wheel, measured in inches. This measurement directly affects the size of the tire you can use.
- PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter): The diameter of the circle which passes through the center of all the studs, lug bolts or wheel rim holes.
- Thread Size (Thread Diameter): The diameter of the studs, lug bolts or wheel rim holes.
- Offset: The distance from the wheel mounting surface to the rim’s centerline. Positive offset means the mounting surface is toward the wheel front, negative offset means it’s towards the back.
- Bolt Pattern: The arrangement of bolts on the wheel hub.
- Lug Nut Torque Specs: The recommended force to tighten the lug nuts onto the wheels.

FAQs
Can I fit different rim sizes on my Haval H6?
Yes, but it’s important to ensure that the overall diameter of the wheel and tire remains the same as the original. Otherwise, it may affect the accuracy of the speedometer and the vehicle’s overall handling.
What happens if I over-tighten the lug nuts?
Over-tightening the lug nuts can warp the brake rotors, causing uneven brake pad wear and potentially unsafe driving conditions.
Can I inflate my tires to a higher pressure for better fuel efficiency?
While higher tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and improve fuel efficiency, it may compromise traction, handling, tire wear, and ride comfort. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure.
