Eagle_Adam Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Ok, so he comes some newishness on my behalf... I thought i understood wheel fitment but i dont apparently :( How do you measure a car to see what size rims will fit and with what offset? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 If you have 13".... 14s and 15s can be substituted and with the correct tire will be the same height and width as the 13" and fit the same. Larger (14 or 15 inch rims allow more strut clearance and larger calipers.Start with the stock rim and tire at the ride height you want. Measure the rim width and the off set. The off set determines how far in or out the rim will be when mounted. http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator Have a good look around your tire. Is there room to the inside to extend the rim and tire without hitting a leaf spring? Is there room to the outside without hitting the inside of the fender? Or does it stick out and the fender may come down on it over bumps. You may find that you can run a 2" wider rim but it must be only 1 1/2" in (positive) and 1/2 out (negative) in order to clear everything. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Check out the http://www.1010tires...fset-Calculator too. Just plug in some measurements and it suggests the proper off set rim. Quote Link to comment
