16-inch 5x98 alloy wheels

16" 5x98 – what does this marking on aluminum rims mean?

The notation 16" indicates the rim diameter in inches – this is the dimension of the rim on which the tire sits. The numbers 5x98 describe the mounting method: the rim has five mounting holes evenly spaced around a 98 mm diameter circle (this is the so-called PCD ). In practice, this means fitting to a hub with five bolts/studs, the axes of which form a 98 mm circle. Apart from the PCD and the diameter, other geometric parameters are also important – rim width (for 16" most often 6.5J–7.0J ), ET (offset) and CB (center hole diameter) . In Alfa/Lancia cars, the typical CB is 58.1 mm , and ET usually oscillates in the range of around +30 to +40 (specific values depend on the model, brake version and bodywork). These parameters determine whether the wheel will be perfectly seated on the hub, will not rub against the calipers and will maintain the correct suspension geometry – so it is always worth confirming them for your specific model before purchasing.

High-quality 16” 5x98 alloy wheels from the best manufacturers

We offer 16" 5x98 Racing Line and Haxer rims – models that combine refined design with real durability. We focus on proven production and quality control: each rim undergoes runout and balance tests, has a clearly defined load capacity , and is protected by a multi-layer paint coating resistant to salt and micro-scratches. Process standards are confirmed by IATF 16949 , and durability is certified by VIA and JWL . We will select the correct ET, CB, and width for your Alfa or Lancia, verify compatibility with TPMS and the braking system, and, upon request, recommend the optimal tire size. The result? A 16" 5x98 set that looks "Italian," handles confidently, and is trouble-free in everyday use.
