How to Match Car Tires and Wheels?
1 Answers
Here are the methods for matching car tires and wheels: 1. If you have already selected the wheels, when choosing tires, you must pay attention to the tread width and know the corresponding wheel J value. For example, a 5.5J wheel can accommodate a tire width of 175 to 195mm (millimeters), with the optimal width being 185mm (millimeters). A 6.0J wheel can accommodate a tire width of 185 to 205mm (millimeters), with the optimal width being 195mm (millimeters). A 6.5J wheel can accommodate a tire width of 195 to 215mm (millimeters), with the optimal width being 205mm (millimeters). A 7.0J wheel can accommodate a tire width of 205 to 225mm (millimeters), with the optimal width being 215mm (millimeters). 2. Most tires have an applicable range for the rim, meaning each tire size can generally fit wheels with slightly different widths, which is usually specifically noted in the tire tread manual.
