A wheel for a utility vehicle includes a first attaching face with which the wheel is to be attached to a hub of a vehicle body, and a second attaching face with which the wheel inversed in a vehicle width direction is to be attached to the hub, where the wheel is structured such that the first attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel, and the second attaching face is, when attached to the hub, offset inward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the center line in the vehicle width direction of the wheel.

A dual wheel system includes a first wheel, a second wheel, and a transition plate arranged between the first and second wheels. Each wheel includes a rim with a disk positioned transverse to a longitudinal axis. The disk of the first wheel has a first plurality of holes arranged concentric about the longitudinal axis with a first bolt pattern, and the disk of the second wheel has a second plurality of holes arranged concentric about the longitudinal axis with a second bolt pattern. The transition plate includes an outer ring of holes for fastening the wheels to the transition plate via the first and second plurality of holes, and an inner ring of holes for fastening the transition plate to an axle flange of a work vehicle.

A multi-width dual wheel arrangement and method utilize a dual wheel spacer and a clamping disk for selectively mounting a dual wheel having a rim to a first wheel at a desired axial spacing of the dual wheel from the first wheel along a rolling axis of the dual and first wheels. The clamping ring is positioned outboard of the rim to clamp the rim between the clamping ring and the spacer for positioning the dual wheel at a first axial spacing from the first wheel along the rolling axis. The clamping ring is positioned inboard between the rim of the dual wheel and the dual wheel spacer for positioning the dual wheel at a second axial spacing from the first wheel. A third axial spacing is provided by configuring the rim to have a convex surface that may be electively positioned facing toward or away from the first wheel.

An isolator for a wheel hub between a brake rotor and a wheel rim is described, and includes a disk-shaped annular device including an inner ring, an outer ring, a first face portion, a second face portion, a plurality of apertures, a plurality of drain surface portions, and a plurality of radially-oriented drain channels disposed on the first face portion. Each drain channel is recessed in the first face portion. Each drain surface portion is recessed in the first face portion and is fluidly coupled to one of the drain channels. Each of the drain surface portions includes a continuous surface that is recessed from the first face portion between a drainage curve, a respective drain channel, and an arc that is defined on the inner ring between a first point and the respective drain channel.

A lift device includes a wheel assembly coupled to a frame. The wheel assembly includes a rim having an inner barrel, an outer barrel, and a lip defining a first surface and a second surface. The lift device also includes an adapter plate and an axle having a first end coupled to the frame and a second end including a hub. The adapter plate includes a barrel portion defining a first face and a second face, a hub portion directly coupled to the hub, and a transition portion extending between the barrel portion and the hub portion. The second surface of the lip engages the first face of the barrel portion when the wheel assembly is in a first configuration and the second face of the barrel portion when the wheel assembly is in a second configuration thereby reducing a track width of the lift device.

A system for wheel alignment is provided including adjustments to camber, toe, and thrust. A sleeve is fitted over the spindle of an axle. Rotation of the sleeve relative to the spindle provides for adjustments to wheel alignment while a locking feature such as e.g., a pin, is used to maintain the selected position of the sleeve relative to the spindle. The available positions of the sleeve Crelative to the spindle are predetermined in order to provide for discrete, known adjustments to the alignment of the wheel. Numerous positions can be provided based on the range and magnitude of adjustability selected.

An attachment arrangement for attaching a composite wheel to a wheel mount, including an attachment aperture that receives an elongate fastener element. A fastening body, including or fastened to the elongate fastener element, has an engagement portion and an attachment insert including a bearing body, a fastening aperture, and an insert section extending axially away from the bearing body and into the attachment aperture. An engagement surface, located at least in part between the bearing body and a distal end of the insert section, extends from an inner surface of the insert section and is configured complementary to and engages the fastening body engagement portion. The insert section distal end extends into the attachment aperture and is spaced from the wheel mount, or from or in an element in, on, integral with, or adjacent to the wheel mount, without directly engaging the wheel mount and/or element.

The invention relates to a track widening system for motor vehicles, having at least one track widening disc and at least one centering ring which is inserted into a central opening of the track widening disc, wherein the centering ring has at least one first catch device which is arranged at the free end of a resilient arm and wherein the track widening disc has a corresponding second catch device. The centering ring may comprise plastic, and may be fiber-reinforced. One or more centering rings may have different colors. One or more protrusions may extend from a hub centering portion of a centering ring.

Embodiments presented provide for a system installable on a vehicle chassis that compensates for wheels and tires that vary from original manufacturer equipment to allow on-board safety systems to correctly ascertain and maintain proper vehicle dynamics.

A method of modifying a hub with a wheel adaptor. The wheel adaptor includes a cylindrical body, a first set of holes that includes six symmetrically spaced holes located at a first radial distance, a second set of holes that include three holes located at a second radial distance, and a third set of holes that include another three holes located at a third radial distance. The method includes coupling the wheel adaptor to the hub. The coupling includes passing six symmetrically spaced lugs of the hub through the wheel adaptor at the first set of holes and fastening using six hub lug nuts. The method further includes drilling six holes through the hub using the second set of holes and the third set of holes of the wheel adaptor as drilling guides.
