What is the wheel size of the Avalon?
2 Answers
The Avalon comes with two wheel sizes: 215/55R17 and 235/45R18. Here are the details: 1. Introduction: The wheel hub is the rotating part of the tire's inner rim connected to the wheel center via spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called the rim, steel wheel, or wheel disc. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. 2. Classification: The wheel hub is also known as the rim. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the wheel hub varies, mainly divided into painting and plating. For standard vehicle models, the appearance of the wheel hub is less of a consideration, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process typically involves painting, which includes spraying followed by baking, offering cost-effectiveness, vibrant colors, and long-lasting durability. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the wheel hub's color remains unchanged. Many Volkswagen models use painted wheel hubs. Some trendy and dynamic colored wheel hubs also employ painting technology.
The Camry I drive is the 2.5L hybrid version, which comes with 17-inch wheels as standard. Honestly, this size is quite suitable for daily use. Recently, while helping a friend pick out a Camry, I noticed that the mid to low trim levels of the gasoline version mostly use 17-inch wheels, but the premium trim upgrades to 18-inch. The top trim even comes with ultra-sporty 19-inch wheels with tire width increased to 235. My friend eventually chose the 18-inch version, saying it feels noticeably more comfortable over speed bumps compared to the 19-inch, and saves several hundred dollars when replacing tires compared to the 19-inch ones.
