Hi, I’m wanting to buy a pair of work meisters s1 and knowing the pattern is 5x114.3 these wheels have 5x100 under that number so I’m a bit confused on why’s it there like are the going to fit ? I have VSKF that are 5x114.3 and fit just never seen this before lol i feel like a noon asking dis
The wheel has 3 different load ratings depending on the PCD spacing that is used. I imagine wherever that first picture is from is from a part of the wheel that isn't the face that has the holes -- maybe it's on the rim or something. Since that piece is 'agnostic' to the hole spacing, they just put all three load ratings on it. Or maybe it's on the face, but rather than worrying about having the machine use different markings whenever the PCD is changed, they just stamp all of them with all the potential ratings for that wheel to make it easy.
The top line doesn't specify, but a high-quality wheel that is 690KG at 5x114.3 is usually going to be rated at 730KG at 5x130 -- so presumably that's the rating for the 5x130 PCD (also an option on these Meister S1s) it just doesn't specify that. They probably had a row or character limit, and just opted to put "VIA" there instead as it is required to be on the wheel.
Thankyou for that I wasn’t so informed on those load ratings, overall would u say these fit my FD ? Just by the pattern I’m thinking of picking them up tmrw
After the pattern the offset of the wheel is the most important thing. And if I'm reading that wheel correctly, that's only a +10 offset.
I am not remotely an expert on precise wheel sizing needed on the FD. But, it's my understanding (and my relatively limited experience with the 2 sets of wheels that I have for the FD) that a +10 is not going to fit. The wheels will stick outside the body. If you're running a widebody, they would work.
I would definitely not drop Work Meister money without being 100% confident these will fit. Hopefully someone here can better confirm my thoughts.
