Frequently Asked Questions

 

1. What do H, M and L under the "Offset" column mean?

"H" means High Positive Offset Typically +35 to +55, "M" means Medium Positive Offset Typically +15 to +25 and "L" means None or Low Positive Offset Typically 0 to +15. These tell you how far the mounting surface for your wheels is to the outside of the vehicles fender, "Low" being the furthest inside the fenderwell and "High" being closest to the outside of the fender. Typically front wheel drive cars are "High" and rear wheel drive are "Low". This info is very useful in correctly purchasing your next set of wheels, if overlooked and you went strictly by bolt pattern you could either end up buying wheels that stick out from the fender or are sunk to far into the fender. Either way causing you to look rediculous and possibly creating turning/steering problems.

2. Since rim width is so important when buying custom rims, how can I find my OE rim width?

It should be listed here under the "OE Wheel Size" column, but if it isn't listed the easiest way is to look in your door jamb or glove box. You should find the sticker from the facory and on it you'll see something like: Rims: 16x7.5J

3. Why is my vehicle not listed on here?

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we have only listed the more popular makes and model vehicles. Please use the "Contact Us" page to send us your year, make and model and we will add it to our list of requested vehicles.

4. Why are older vehicles not listed?

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we've not listed older models simply because we haven't been presented with a large demand for it yet. Please use the "Contact Us" page to send us your year, make and model and we will add it to our list of requested vehicles.

5. Are there other vehicles with the same bolt pattern as my ride?

The easiest way to find this out is to go to my affiliate website www.RimHelp.com and use the "Find Vehicles That Fit Your Wheels" section to search for vehicles with the same bolt pattern as your vehicle.

6. Why are all the sizes listed in metric?

The sizes are all in metric because millimeters are more accurate than inches. If you would like a quick way to convert the measurements you can use the following site:
