What is the wheel size of the Binyue?

[DelCamille]

Binyue has two wheel size specifications: one is 215/60-R17, and the other is 215/55-18. Both front and rear wheels are equipped with red calipers to effectively enhance visual impact. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4330/1800/1609mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. Here are the impacts of smaller wheel specifications: (1) Smaller wheel specifications result in reduced friction with the ground during vehicle movement, leading to better fuel economy. (2) Limited tread diameter significantly reduces its off-road capability and comfort. Drivers often feel uncertain when driving small-displacement cars over bumps. Smaller tires make the steering mechanism lighter, and most small-displacement cars are not equipped with power steering.

Yesterday I helped a friend check out a car and specifically measured its wheel size. The regular version of the Binyue usually comes with 17-inch wheels, which look quite well-proportioned. If you go for the sporty PRO or BATTLE edition, they're typically equipped with 18-inch wheels that have a particularly dynamic design, resembling blades. In actual driving, the 17-inch wheels provide a softer ride over speed bumps, while the 18-inch ones offer better grip and stability at high speeds. However, I should remind you that even the same model might have different configurations across different years, so it's best to check the specifications on the nameplate inside the engine compartment when buying. Also, when replacing tires, you must use the original size tires, otherwise the speedometer will be inaccurate.

Recently, I've seen many Bin Yue owners discussing wheel modifications. This SUV comes with 17 to 18-inch wheels as standard, depending on the trim level. For example, the Diamond or Starlight editions mostly use 17-inch wheels. Many people opt for mid-to-high trims specifically for those stylish 18-inch wheels, featuring a five-spoke design with red calipers that really stand out. Actually, my friend learned this lesson the hard way—last year he upgraded to 20-inch wheels but ended up switching back because the ride was too harsh. OEM wheels are the most hassle-free option; if you really want to modify them, it's essential to have a professional shop calculate the parameters. An ET value deviation exceeding 3mm can easily cause the wheels to rub against the fenders.

Last month, I accompanied my cousin to pick up his BinYue COOL. He got the Hot Engine version with 17-inch wheels. To be honest, this size pairs perfectly with the 1.5T engine—the 215 tire width offers agile steering, and the 60 aspect ratio makes it less prone to bulging over potholes. Note that wheel sizes vary significantly across trims: I've seen base models with 16-inch wheels, while top trims can have 18-inch ones. The spec sheets from salespeople aren't always accurate, so it's best to inspect the actual vehicle yourself. Look for parameters like 225/60R17 or 225/55R18 stamped on the tire sidewall for confirmation.

As someone who frequently deals with family SUVs, I find the wheel configuration of the Bin Yue quite interesting. The standard version mostly comes with 17-inch wheels, like the 2023 Platinum Edition which features 17-inch alloy wheels. However, if you opt for the Champion Edition or Battle Edition, you get an upgrade to more sporty 18-inch wheels. From practical use, I noticed a detail: the 18-inch wheels come with Continental UC6 tires which have lower road noise, but replacing a tire costs several hundred yuan more. For northern owners, it's advisable to switch to winter tires when winter comes, and the 17-inch winter tires can save you a quarter of the cost.

Seen too many Binyue owners struggling with wheel size issues. The base version typically uses 17-inch wheels with specifications of 6.5Jx17, and a common bolt pattern of 5x114.3. For the high-end 18-inch version, pay attention to the ET value around 50. Here's a lesser-known fact: although the factory maximum is 18 inches, some car club members have tested fitting 20-inch wheels, which requires adding spacers. For modification enthusiasts, it's advised not to exceed 19 inches, otherwise, the wheels may rub against the fenders during turns. By the way, here's a hidden drawback: large wheels with low-profile tires are particularly vulnerable to curb damage—just last week, I saw an 18-inch tire sidewall get scraped and cracked.
