18-inch 5x160 alloy wheels

5x160 18 - how to interpret this symbol on aluminum rims?

Have you heard the term 18" 5x160 alloy wheels, but don't know what it means? The designation 5x160 in the context of aluminum wheels, such as these, refers to the number and spacing of the bolts that secure the rim to the car's hub. The number "5" means that the rim has five mounting holes for the bolts, and "160" refers to the spacing of these holes, measured in millimeters.

The width of an alloy wheel is another important parameter. For 18-inch rims, the width typically ranges from 7 to 8 inches. This affects driving stability and tire compatibility. 5x160 18-inch rims with an 8-inch width offer an excellent balance between aesthetics and functionality.

The automotive market also offers extended ET 50 18" 5x160 aluminum rims. The ET 50 parameter indicates the distance between the rim's mounting surface and its center of symmetry. The ET 50 value indicates that the rim is set slightly deeper inside the wheel arch, which may affect the appearance and handling of the vehicle.

Equally important is the bolt pattern, which in this case is 5x160. Furthermore, it must necessarily match the bolt pattern in the vehicle's hub. An incorrectly chosen pattern will result in the rims not fitting the vehicle, which is crucial for safety.
