The specification describes the configuration of the mounting holes on a automobile’s wheel hub. Particularly, it defines the variety of bolt holes, their diameter, and the diameter of the circle they kind. For a 2005 Lincoln City Automotive, this specification is 5×114.3mm (or 5×4.5 inches), indicating 5 lug nuts positioned on a circle with a diameter of 114.3 millimeters (or 4.5 inches).
Adhering to this specification is crucial for guaranteeing correct wheel set up and automobile security. Incorrect wheels, these not matching the required configuration, can result in wheel detachment, harm to the automobile’s hub, and potential accidents. The configuration ensures balanced distribution of power, stopping undue stress on particular person studs. Understanding that is essential for choosing the best aftermarket wheels, tires, and associated elements. Traditionally, this specific configuration has been a standard normal throughout a number of Ford and Lincoln automobiles, influencing aftermarket availability and interchangeability.
