TLDR:
The pin holes on this LEGO-compatible rim are located as far forward as they can be to clear space inside the rim for a realistic steering system.
——————————
As many experienced LEGO builders know, trying to accurately model a car or truck's front wheels can be extremely frustrating, because the pivot point for the steered wheels are at the edge or even outside of the wheel. On a real vehicle, the pivot point is centered within the tire. This difference leads to oversized wheel wells or some other less-than-ideal compromise.
This rim moves the pivot point to, if not the center of the tire, much closer than the LEGO rims.
The rim is compatible with LEGO TECHNIC rubber tires, pins, and axles. It's also large enough to hold standard steering pieces.
