What are the wheel specifications for the Toyota Reiz?
2 Answers
Toyota Reiz wheel specifications are ET45-8J-5x114.3. Below is a detailed explanation of these specifications: ET45 represents an offset of 45mm: The ET value, also known as the Offset value, refers to the deviation between the mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel rim, measured in millimeters. It can be positive, zero, or negative. When the ET value is 0, the mounting surface is aligned with the centerline of the wheel. A larger positive ET value means the mounting surface is more towards the inner side. 8J represents the width and shape of the wheel rim: The number 8 indicates the width of the wheel rim, while J denotes the shape and height of the wheel flange. This size of the wheel rim can accommodate tires with a diameter of 18 inches and widths of 225/235/245mm. 5x114.3 represents the bolt pattern: 5x114.3 indicates that the wheel rim has 5 bolt holes, with a spacing of 114.3mm between adjacent holes.
I've been driving a Reiz for several years and I'm quite familiar with its wheel specs. The factory wheels for the Reiz are usually 17 or 18 inches - my older model came with 17-inch wheels, while newer versions have 18-inch ones. The bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm, which refers to the position of the five bolt holes on the wheel. The ET (offset) value typically ranges between 40-45mm, controlling the spacing between the wheel and brake disc. The center bore is 60.1mm - any new wheels must match this measurement. I've upgraded my wheels from 17-inch to 18-inch alloy wheels. With the correct size, the car feels more stable and doesn't feel as floaty in corners anymore. For those considering wheel upgrades, I recommend checking your vehicle's original specifications at the dealership first. Avoid buying cheap alternatives as they might rub against the brake discs or cause premature tire wear. The Reiz handles well, and correct wheel specs are crucial for safe high-speed cornering. From my experience, ET45mm works best for daily driving.
