Abstract
A wheel spacer disk for motor vehicles including a center opening, a plurality of wheel bolt openings and at least two wheel hub centering elements for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a wheel hub. A diameter of the center opening is greater than a diameter of a centering element of the wheel hub, and at least two rim centering pins are provided for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a rim. The at least two wheel hub centering elements are arranged on a circumferential wall of the center opening, and the at least two wheel hub centering elements project at least in sections into the center opening of the wheel spacer disk.

A wheel spacer disk for motor vehicles, comprising:
- a center opening,
- a plurality of wheel bolt openings, and
- at least two wheel hub centering elements for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a wheel hub,
- wherein
- a diameter of the center opening is greater than a diameter of a centering element of the wheel hub, wherein
- at least two rim centering pins are provided for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a rim, wherein
- the at least two wheel hub centering elements are arranged on a circumferential wall of the center opening, wherein
- the at least two wheel hub centering elements project at least in sections into the center opening of the wheel spacer disk.
An arrangement for motor vehicles comprising:
- a wheel hub,
- a rim,
- a wheel spacer disk comprising:
- a center opening,
- a plurality of wheel bolt openings,
- at least two wheel hub centering elements for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to the wheel hub, wherein
- a diameter of the center opening is greater than a diameter of a centering element of the wheel hub, wherein
- at least two rim centering pins are provided for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to the rim, wherein
- the at least two wheel hub centering elements are arranged on a circumferential wall of the center opening, wherein
- the at least two wheel hub centering elements project at least in sections into the center opening of the wheel spacer disk,
- the wheel hub has a centering element which extends out from the wheel hub along a central longitudinal axis of the wheel hub,
- the centering element has a centering ring and at least two centering projections,
- the centering ring starts at the same height as a bearing surface of the wheel hub for the wheel spacer disk, extends away from the bearing surface along the central longitudinal axis and is centered relative to the central longitudinal axis of the wheel hub,
- the at least two centering projections extend out from the centering ring substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the wheel hub,
- the centering element on the at least two centering projections has a greater diameter than on the centering ring,
- the wheel spacer disk is centered relative to the wheel hub,
- the rim is centered relative to the wheel spacer disk, and
- the plurality of wheel bolt openings of the wheel spacer disk are oriented so as to be aligned with a plurality of wheel bolt openings of the rim and a plurality of wheel bolt openings or stud bolts of the wheel hub, and
- the at least two rim centering pins of the wheel spacer disk are arranged between the at least two centering projections of the wheel hub and the wheel spacer disk bears against the centering ring by the at least two wheel hub centering elements.
