The configuration of lug nut placement on a wheel hub for a selected car mannequin, on this occasion the 2008 Saturn Aura, dictates the wheel’s compatibility with the car. It’s outlined by two essential measurements: the variety of lug studs and the diameter of the circle on which these studs are organized. For instance, a 5x115mm specification signifies 5 lug studs positioned on a circle with a diameter of 115 millimeters. This specification ensures correct wheel centering and safe attachment to the car.
Adherence to the right specification is essential for car security and efficiency. Utilizing wheels with an incompatible configuration can lead to wheel loosening, vibrations, and potential wheel detachment, resulting in accidents and car injury. Traditionally, numerous producers have utilized totally different configurations throughout their car lineups, making it important to confirm the right specification earlier than buying or putting in aftermarket wheels. The particular configuration is usually discovered within the car’s proprietor’s guide, on-line databases, or via skilled tire and wheel retailers.
