What are the specifications for 14-inch tires?
1 Answers
14-inch rims come in various models, with common widths including 5j, 5.5j, and 6j, supporting tire widths ranging from 165 to 225. Below is relevant information: 1. Rims: The rim size essentially refers to the diameter of the rim. Sizes like 15 and 16 inches indicate the rim's diameter. Since 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters, a 14-inch rim measures 35.56 centimeters. The appropriate tire for a 14-inch rim depends on the tire's aspect ratio; any tire designed for 14-inch rims can be fitted. 2. Precautions: Avoid blindly increasing rim size. Some people upgrade rims to enhance vehicle performance. Keeping the tire's outer diameter constant, larger rims necessitate wider and flatter tires, which reduces lateral sway and improves stability, making cornering feel light and agile. However, the flatter the tire, the thinner its sidewall, resulting in poorer shock absorption and a significant sacrifice in comfort.
