Is it necessary to change tires when changing rims?
1 Answers
Changing rims does not necessarily require changing tires. For modifications, you first need to determine the specifications of the modified tires, such as 205/55R16. Then, based on this specification, refer to the national standards to find the corresponding rim width that matches this specification. This will help you determine the appropriate rim size. Below is additional information: For example, for 195/65R15, according to the national standards, the compatible allowed widths are 51/2J and 61/2J, with a measured width of 6J. Therefore, the rim width options are: 51/2J*15, 61/2J*15, or 6J*15. For 225/65R15, according to the national standards, the compatible allowed widths are 6J and 7J, with a measured width of 61/2J. Therefore, the rim width options are: 6J*15, 7J*15, or 61/2J*15. From this, it can be concluded that if the original rim width is 51/2J*15 or 7J*15, they cannot be used interchangeably. Additionally, the rim offset must also be considered.
