Bolt Pattern Clamping - Rotary GAR171 Three Finger Adapter
The Rotary GAR171 is a three-finger wheel balancer adapter designed for the Rotary R544 wheel balancer. This bolt pattern adapter clamps wheels by their lug holes instead of the center bore, enabling accurate balancing of wheels that cannot be reliably centered with standard cones or have difficult-to-match center bore sizes.
Professional tire and wheel service shops use the GAR171 to expand their balancing capability across diverse vehicle fleets. By mounting to the balancer spindle and engaging wheel bolt patterns, this adapter eliminates centering issues and reduces setup time for mixed-vehicle service operations.
Key Benefits
Applications
- Balancing wheels on passenger vehicles with standard bolt patterns where center bore dimensions are problematic or unknown.
- Servicing light truck wheels across various manufacturers with consistent bolt pattern spacing but different center bore sizes.
- Mixed-fleet automotive repair shops handling diverse vehicle makes and models with a single versatile adapter.
- Tire service centers balancing wheels removed from customer vehicles where center bore accuracy cannot be verified before mounting.
- Commercial vehicle tire service where bolt pattern standardization makes this adapter more practical than maintaining cone sets.
