Dual-drilled wheels feature two bolt patterns, allowing them to fit a wider range of vehicles without compromising strength or safety.
What Are Dual-Drilled Wheels and How Do They Work?
If you’ve come across the term dual-drilled wheels and wondered what it means, you’re not alone. It sounds technical, but the concept is actually pretty simple.
A dual-drilled wheel is designed with two different bolt patterns built into the same wheel. This means the wheel has two sets of lug holes, allowing it to fit a wider range of vehicles.
For example, a wheel labeled 6x5.5 / 6x135 would have twelve total lug holes - six for each bolt pattern. This gives you more flexibility when matching wheels to different trucks or SUVs.
The big question most customers ask is: Are dual-drilled wheels as strong as single-drilled wheels? The answer is yes. Dual-drilled wheels go through the same rigorous testing and durability standards set by the manufacturer. They are built to be just as safe and reliable as wheels with a single bolt pattern.
