Performance Benefits of Custom Wheels & Tires
Finding the Perfect Fit
Choosing the right wheel size is crucial for both aesthetics and performance. Here’s a guide to help you find the perfect fit:
Understanding Wheel Dimensions
-
Diameter – The total height of the wheel (e.g., 17", 18", 20"). Affects ride comfort and aesthetics.
-
Width – The distance between the wheel’s inner and outer edges. Wider wheels improve traction and stability.
-
Offset – Determines how far the wheel sits from the hub. Can be positive (inward), zero (flush), or negative (outward).
-
Bolt Pattern – Ensures the wheels fit your vehicle’s hub (e.g., 5x114.3, 6x139.7).
How to Choose the Right Wheel Size
Stock vs. Upsized Wheels
-
Stock Size – Best for maintaining factory ride quality and fuel efficiency.
-
+1 or +2 Sizing – Increasing wheel diameter while maintaining tire diameter improves handling and aesthetics.
-
Oversized Wheels (22”+) – Provides a bold look but may affect ride comfort and acceleration.
Performance Considerations
-
Smaller Wheels (16”-18”) – Offer a smoother ride, better comfort, and are ideal for winter tires.
-
Larger Wheels (19”-22”) – Provide improved handling, aggressive styling, but may result in a firmer ride.
-
Wide Wheels (9”+) – Increase grip for performance vehicles but require proper offset to avoid rubbing.
Vehicle-Specific Recommendations
-
Sedans & Sports Cars – 17"-20" wheels for a balance of performance and style.
-
SUVs & Trucks – 18"-22" wheels for an aggressive stance and improved off-road capability.
-
Off-Road Vehicles – Wider, all-terrain tires with 17"-20" wheels for durability and traction.
Wheel & Tire Compatibility
-
Always check your vehicle’s owner’s manual or use an online wheel size calculator to ensure the right fit.
-
Consider speedometer calibration and potential clearance issues when upgrading sizes.
