How to Measure for Aftermarket Wheels

why is this sooo complicated? I just want some wheels 😭

Me coming to this video after selling my 8j et35 wheels that needed 5mm spacers, and now i got 8j with 60 offset and they hit the calipers even with 10mm spacers
Mathematically I'd need 25-30mm spacers to be a perfect fitment, realistically I'd have no idea without this video because im going for the drippy fitment
Ps: i have an opel astra bertone on coilovers

I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata LX, stock tires width is 6.5, I found a set of wheels that I love but the width is 8, how wide can I go before it starts like rubbing? They’re also 18inches and stock are 17

Just simple and great video so thanks alot!
going to get some wheels to Volvo 240 and hope to get the fitment what i'm after :)

Technical Gure at work❤

Absolutely awesome thank you

This is perfect for first timers trying to learn about wheels and fitment! I've watched about 20 other videos and everyone just talks like everyone was a professional wheel installer. All they had to do was show us step by step examples as this guy did and what they rambled on would make since. Thank to this guy!

Eyeball it, put em on, pray. Roll your fenders or just buy the right size they recommend

just get the exact same size whats already on your car and you will have no problems

excellent video right here! this will give me a peace of mind knowing what wheel specs i will begetting. this is much much appreciated. here is my question: my suspesion is old and most probably worn out. planning on getting a bc racing br for a daily 2005 4dr 325i. should i measure now or should i wait until the coilovers are installed and then measure? thanks!

u a good teacher

i need this video like yesterday. thanks

The technician service manual for my 2022 WRX says that the wheel "Inset" is 55mm (4.5"). What exactly is "Inset?" BC ppl seem to use the term "Offset" and then either positive or negative. But other references say it's actually called "Outset" and "Inset." So i guess Inset means positive and outset means negative offset. ???

finally!!! I understand.fac

Fantastic! This is exactly what I want!

Jesus Christ…I thought I was looking at a T-Rex 🦖 dong in that first picture!! Gallery check! 😂👍🏻

Bro, I have a 99 GS300 and plan on going aggressive, And I have to say you couldn’t of made this any easier to figure out. This is nothing like my Yukon where I lift it 9 inches and throw some 24x 14’s with 40s on it and call it a day with minor trimming 😂😂 this shit is technical. Thanks again!

There's a guy on tictok that makes a plastic tool that mounts to your hub and measure differant sizes without test fitting. It's nice to dumb it up and be visual before you but Tim's and tires

What he say

So now how does the tire size especially sidewall height factor in?

I’m a bit late to this video, but I have a widebody on my car, so all my numbers are much more crazy, and I’m lost

Thanks a lot my brother, this wheel off set explanation is clear as the water.
I’m planning to get some wheels and this is very helpful!
Thanks again!👍🏽

+44 mark hoppus would approve!

Amazing Video. Very well Educated 👍

Wish I saw this before just buying 8 wide 0 offset and praying my poke wasn’t like a lifted truck😂

YES! this is the video I was looking for to see if I can run the rims I want on my camry. This should be the first video everyone watches before buying any rims.

how about measuring the caliper clearance especially if you have a bbk.

When final offset is found with the backspacing of the weel(7inch)..Does it mean that your setup will be conservative,or flush,etc...?

what determines whether or not you rub your tires in full lock

This video is so useful thank you sooo muchhh

Just bought some wheels from Fitment. Let's hope they get here nice a safe. Look for my car in the gallery once she's all done. It's a Black 86 with bronze konig 17x8 freeforms. Coilovers also.

Well explained. Thanks.

Is it bad to find your wheels based on offset? For example, if I want a deep lip rim, is it bad to search for rims with a very low offset and then try to match up the rest of the dimensions?

I just wanted to know how to find a good fit for my car and now I’m just even more confused lmao

This was super helpful!

I have one question and I hope you can clear this up.
Still unsure how to determine the maximum negative offset based the backspacing.

Could you technically go as low as a +20 offset with your current setup on your FRS? Would a thinner wheel allow you to go even lower?

ESRS ARE REPS

I’m guessing I should get my bags first?

What if I have a widebody g35 with wheel spacers lmao

when you pick up a clean car but you can fit your whole head in the fender still and all the aftermarket parts on the car are no name brands from japan you end up here.

Thanks for breaking this down for a simpleton like myself I actually just learned a whole lot.

After watching this I still have no idea what they're talking about 🤣

I have a 2015 Honda Accord looking for the right type I keep hearing about chrome lip silver any help I was thinking about eBay your thoughts

extremely new to this, i just bought a 97 ls 400 this past friday and i gotta say if learned more in this video than probably ten previous videos from other channels

Thanks for the video. This information is very important to know which rin to buy correctly!

will the backspacing be the same in the front and rear??

would i get suspension or wheels first

This helped me a lot.

my brain blew up watching this
