Truck Wheel Knowledge Center

Wheels FAQWhether you’re replacing a single commercial truck wheel or specifying wheels for an entire fleet, choosing the correct wheel requires more than simply matching the diameter.

Our Truck Wheel Knowledge Center answers the most common questions about wheel sizing, bolt patterns, hub-piloted and stud-piloted wheels, aluminum versus steel wheels, and commercial truck fitment.

How do I identify the correct truck wheel for my vehicle?

Choosing the correct truck wheel involves more than matching the wheel diameter. Two wheels may both measure 22.5 x 8.25, yet have completely different bolt patterns, center bores, mounting systems or offsets.

Before ordering, compare:

  • Wheel size
  • Bolt hole count
  • Bolt pattern
  • Center bore
  • Wheel offset
  • Mounting style
  • Wheel material

What is the difference between hub-piloted and stud-piloted truck wheels?

Although two truck wheels may appear identical, the mounting system can be completely different.

Hub-piloted wheels center on the vehicle hub.

Stud-piloted (Budd) wheels center on the wheel studs.

These systems are not automatically interchangeable.
