DOCUMENTED CONFIGURATIONS

Wheel, tire, and fitment details

Each row preserves one recorded configuration. Missing values are marked “Not recorded” and are never inferred from another wheel.

Partial fitment record: Some stored offsets cannot yet be tied to a specific wheel row, so they are intentionally omitted here pending direct evidence.
