Skruvmönstret

Skruvmönstret, a Swedish term, translates to "screw pattern" in English. It refers to the arrangement of bolt holes on a wheel, specifically for automotive applications. This pattern is crucial for ensuring that a wheel can be securely attached to a vehicle's hub. The number of bolt holes and the diameter of the circle on which they are located are the defining characteristics of a skruvmönstret.

Common skruvmönstret configurations include four, five, or six bolt holes. For example, a 4x100 skruvmönstret indicates four bolt holes arranged on a circle with a diameter of 100 millimeters. A 5x114.3 pattern, another common type, has five bolt holes on a 114.3 millimeter diameter circle. The correct skruvmönstret is essential for compatibility between a wheel and a vehicle.

Using wheels with an incorrect skruvmönstret can lead to serious safety issues. The bolts will not seat properly, resulting in an insecure attachment and potentially causing the wheel to detach from the vehicle while in motion. Therefore, it is vital to verify the skruvmönstret of both the vehicle's hub and the desired wheels before attempting an installation. This information is typically found in the vehicle's owner's manual or can be determined by measuring the existing bolt pattern. Manufacturers adhere to specific standards to ensure interchangeability within their vehicle lines and often across different brands that share platforms or components.
