Can I put any same size rim on my car?

Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size. That being said, a vehicle with bigger rims will often be able to fit larger tires than other vehicles.

How do you tell what size your rims are?

Locate the stamped size on the back of the hub on the rim. This is the assigned measured size of the rim, and it is broken into three sizes: diameter, width and bolt pattern. For example, a 14 by 6 by 4.5 reading on the rim indicates that the diameter of the rim is 14 inches, and it will accommodate most 14-inch tires.

How do I know if my alloy wheels will fit?

There are 10 aspects that are critical for your choice of alloy wheel to fit properly:

• The Wheel PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter / Stud Pattern)
• The Front and Rear Wheel Offset (ET)
• The Wheel Diameter.
• The Front and Rear Wheel Width/s.
• The Front and Rear Tyre Size.
• The Wheel Load Capabilities.
• The Tyre Load Index.
• The Centre Bore.

How do you tell what stud pattern your wheels are?

Measuring Your Bolt Pattern

1. Remove the existing wheel (the rear wheel is usually the easiest to measure because the hub normally won’t be in the way).
2. Measure from the middle of one stud to the outside of the second stud (skipping a stud).
3. The number you see will be the actual measurement of the bolt pattern.

Can I put 20 inch rims on my car?

Yes you can put 20 inch rims on your vehicle but with limitations. This will depend on how wide the rims and tires will be and also if the tires will clear the struts and suspension parts when driving and turning.

Does rim size change ride height?

Usually when you increase your wheel size you decrease the aspect ratio of your tires, thus the overall diameter stays the same, so the ride height, clearance and gap stay the same as well.

How do I know my alloy wheel size?

Every alloy wheel should have the size on the tyre; you can find this on the outside or sometimes it is stamped on the inside of the alloys or the back of the spokes. Contacting a specialist is a good idea if you are still unsure about what the diameter and width of your alloys is.
