Hex Wheel Bolt 1/2 - 20

A Hex Wheel Bolt 1/2"-20 is a fastener designed to securely attach a vehicle's wheel to the hub. It features a hexagonal head for tightening or loosening with a socket or wrench and a 1/2"-20 fine thread, meaning the bolt has a 1/2-inch diameter with 20 threads per inch. The fine-thread design provides a strong, vibration-resistant connection and allows for precise torque application. Wheel bolts are commonly manufactured from high-strength, heat-treated steel with corrosion-resistant finishes to withstand heavy loads, road conditions, and repeated installation. They are widely used on passenger cars, light trucks, and trailers that are designed with wheel bolt mounting systems rather than wheel studs and lug nuts. Proper installation to the manufacturer's specified torque is essential for safe wheel retention and vehicle operation.
