How to identify the size of a vehicle wheel

OEM Wheels do not just come in different sizes among the various makes, but they also come in different sizes within each vehicle model. There is a simple way to discover the size of a stock vehicle rim if don't know or you can't remember what original wheel came with your car, and StockWheels.com is here to help!

One simple way is to find the vehicle wheel online and through comparison determine your used rim size. A challenge may arise when discovering the wheel's size this way because some stock vehicle rims look the same or very similar to others, however they are different. Some measurement of the factory original wheel, whether it is the diameter, width or another, may be different.

To figure out your actual stock vehicle wheel diameter, simply look on the tire. For example, if you see 225/50R16 on your tire, the diameter of the wheel is referenced by "R16" which is a 16" diameter wheel. Some tires may also reference the diameter of the factory original wheel in millimeters. Another option to determine the diameter of your used rim is to take a tape measure and measure the length between the bottom of the lips (NOTE: the bottom of the lip is the part that is flush with the barrel) of the wheel directly across. The width however is not referenced on the tire itself and therefore a different area of the used wheel must be looked at.

To find out the width of your stock vehicle wheel, you must look at the backside of the rim itself. Imprinted on a spoke of the OEM vehicle wheel is a number, such as 16x7. The "16" refers to the diameter, another way to discover this element, and the "7" refers to the rim's width. Some factory original wheels however, more often steel, display this number on the front side or the face of the rim. Another way, however less accurate, is to take the reference number on your tire 225/50R16. Instead of using the end, take 225. This number is the width of the tire in millimeters. To convert it to inches, divide by 25.4. This new number, in our case, 8.6 is a rough estimate of your wheel's width. The actual wheel width is likely to be seven inches in this case.
