Wheel Rim Sizing FAQs

Wheel rim sizing is a must for any vehicle owner who is faced with the task of replacing a rim due to a crack, or those who simply wish to change the look of the vehicle. There are several different ways to find out the sizing of the wheel to prevent any malfunctions of the vehicle.

Q: Where can one find the standard wheel size for a vehicle?

A: Any questions for wheel sizing according to the make and model of the vehicle are found in the owner's manual or online, with a vehicle identification number to confirm the compatability of wheel size to vehicle.

Q: How apparent is it when sizing for a rim is not correct?

A: Sizing of rims for tires is extremely important in order for the tire to stay on the wheel and function properly. Also, a rim that is too large for the vehicle can either cause the vehicle to have horrible handling qualities, or not fit at all, and demand a replacement.

Q: What happens if the wrong wheel size is shipped for the vehicle?

A: One should contact the supplier immediately if the wrong size wheel was shipped. If it is determined that it is not the supplier's fault that the wrong product was shipped, it could likely require the consumer to pay for return shipping. If it is the supplier's fault that the consumer has received the wrong size rim, the supplier generally pays for return shipping and may or may not apply a discount to the price of the correct item.
