How To Measure Center Caps?


How To Measure Center Caps?
In many cases, when we want to replace or modify the wheel hub, we cannot be sure whether the Wheel Center Caps can work perfectly on the wheel hub. If the size is too large, it will not be able to be installed. Small and easy to drop, more serious cases may cause the speed sensor to fail, the brakes to not work properly, and an accident. So how should we measure and find the right Wheel Center Caps?

1. How do I measure if I have an old Center Cap
This is very simple, just look at the Partnumber or directly measure the size

1.1: We can use the Part number to directly replace the 1:1 Wheel Center Caps, which is suitable for replacing the old cap, provided you have an old cap, on the back of the old cap, there will be a string of numbers or a string of English, Or a “combination” of numbers and English, but it doesn't really matter, you just need to search for this string of "combinations" on Rhinotuning.com and you'll be able to find Wheel Center Caps that are 1:1 restored without worrying about the size question

1.2: We can directly measure the size of the old cap, 1:1 to find the applicable Wheel Center Caps. As shown below, But please be careful, try not to have errors

2. What should I do if I don't have the old cap, just a hub with an empty center?
This can be a bit of a hassle but don't worry, in addition to the part number we can also measure the center of the hub to find the right cap, but there are a few things we need to know,Generally speaking, the installation of Wheel Center Caps will be divided into the following types, 1. snap-on 2. screw-on 3. push-through 4. bolt-on

2.1: When we only have one wheel, how to find the Wheel Center Caps with snap-on installation and suitable for wheel
First, you need to measure the O.D and I.D of the hub center, as shown in the figure below, you will get two data, use these two data to find the appropriate Wheel Center Caps, O.D represents the Outside Diameter of the Wheel Center Cap (the size of the entire cap), I.D represents The Inner Diameter of Wheel Center Caps (distance between two clips)


2.2:When we only have one wheel, how to find the Wheel Center Caps with screw-on installation and suitable for wheel
First, you need to measure the O.D and I.D/T.D of the hub center, as shown in the figure below, you will get two data, use these two data to find the appropriate Wheel Center Caps, O.D represents the Outside Diameter of the Wheel Center Cap (the size of the entire cap), I.D/T.D represents The Inner Diameter of Wheel Center Caps (the diameter of the thread)


2.3: When we only have one wheel, how to find the Wheel Center Caps with push-through installation and suitable for wheel.
Measure the "1"(center hole distance) size in the picture

If the "1" (center hole distance) is 108mm (4.25in), Then the Push-through Center Caps of the following sizes will work.

2.4:When we only have one wheel, how do find the Wheel Center Caps with bolt-on installation and suitable for wheel.

Measure the Wheel Center Caps of a bolt-on is the most difficult because it is necessary to ensure that the type of screw, the number of screw holes, and the spacing of the screw holes, so, Bolt-on Wheel Center Caps are generally not universal. If you can't measure, please contact us to solve.
