The wheel attachment configuration for the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado follows a specific design. This design, crucial for secure wheel mounting, specifies the number of bolts, the diameter of the circle they are arranged on (bolt circle diameter), and the thread size of the fasteners. An example is a 6x120mm configuration, indicating six bolts arranged on a 120mm diameter circle.
This configuration is essential for maintaining vehicle safety and performance. Ensuring correct wheel fitment prevents wheel detachment, reduces stress on the vehicle’s suspension, and allows for proper torque application. Historically, manufacturers have used various configurations; however, a standardized configuration for a specific model year ensures compatibility and interchangeability of wheels.
