If you’re using your existing tires, it’s important to know the size of your tires because the diameter of the rim needs to match your tires.
For example, if your tires are size 205/55R/16, you need wheels with a 16-inch diameter.
However, if you’re starting out fresh with a whole new tire and wheels package, you can search by vehicle, and we’ll do all the calculating for you so you can rest assured everything has been measured and matched perfectly—or you can search by wheel size and bolt pattern. Searching this way will show you a greater number of options, including different offsets, so you can play with different wheel looks such as wider stances or more aggressive designs.
There are the four basic fitment figures you’ll come across as you shop for wheels by size or bolt pattern:
Rim size/diameter - This number, measured in inches, should be the same for the wheels as the tires on your car if you’re buying just wheels, not a wheel and tire package.
Bolt pattern - Every vehicle model will have a specific bolt pattern for its wheels so the studs match up with the axle. Heavy duty trucks need more lugs to support greater weight, so they could have an 8 bolt pattern, where a tiny car might have only a 3. You can find out your vehicle’s bolt pattern with an online search of your make and model, and the bolt pattern. Bolt patterns indicate the diameter of a circle (an imaginary circle) formed by joining the centres of all the wheels lugs. Your bolt pattern might be based on 4, 5, 6 or 8-lug holes.
Lug count - This is where it gets tricky, and where it’s best to have an expert on your side. Most cars have a lug count of five, BUT, they can be drilled in at different diameters depending on the manufacturer and the type of vehicle (cars to trucks). For example, European rims could have a lug count of 5×112 mm while a Japanese rim could measure 5×114.3 mm.
Offset - The offset number indicates where the wheel sits in relation to your car’s undercarriage. For example, the centre of the wheel on most muscle cars is pretty deep, with half of more of the wheel sitting outside the axle.
When it comes to offset, we recommend staying to the Original Equipment specs to ensure your vehicle drives the way the manufacturer intended.
