Wheels, tires & alignment specifications

Tags: #wheels · #tires · #tire-pressure

OEM wheel/tire specification: standard wheel diameter is 17 inches; factory tire size 215/60R17. Bolt pattern 5×114.3 (5-lug, 114.3 mm bolt circle). Center bore 67.1 mm. Confirmed by official documentation as factory-standard for all X80 variants.¹²³ A separate report from the other community group confirms the same factory tire size, 215/60/17.⁴

Tire size options in practice (varies by trim/generation/owner choice): 225/55/17 (common), 225/60/17 (factory option), 225/65 (considered oversized — noticeably reduces visibility and handling due to increased sidewall height). An 18-inch wheel option is confirmed available in the Chinese market (approximately 235/55 fitment); a newer 235/55/18 combination has also been tested by an owner. Lower-profile 215/70/16 tires are available, trading performance for ride comfort. General guidance: lower profile → sharper handling; higher profile → softer ride and more ground clearance.⁵⁶⁷

Recommended tire pressure: 2.2–2.4 bar, with 2.2 bar the most commonly used setting in the community. The exact factory specification is printed on the driver's door jamb sticker. Pressure affects handling, comfort, and fuel economy.⁸⁹¹⁰¹¹

Spare tire: the rear-mounted spare uses a standard rubber valve stem with no pressure sensor. The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) only monitors the four road wheels, not the spare — simple rubber valve, no electronics.¹²¹³¹⁴

Factory wheel alignment specs (unloaded vehicle, from the factory manual): - Front — Camber −20′±30′ (converted from source; consult manual for exact degree/minute notation), Caster 5.93°±1°, wheel steering angle 6.53°, Toe-in 0±2 mm, inside wheel angle 36.5°±3°, outside wheel angle 30°±3°, vehicle height 435±20 mm. - Rear — Camber −1°20′±30′, Toe-in 2±2 mm, vehicle height 462±20 mm. - Vehicle height is measured from wheel center to wheel-arch edge.¹⁵
