Alloy wheels are the best option for any car owner looking for increased durability, less overall weight, and almost endless personalization options. Higher-end alloy wheels require more care and attention to keep their beautiful features in good condition.

The first step in maintaining your alloy wheels is to be aware of their specifications. This suggests that in the event of a problem, you will be able to easily find the right spare parts, tools, or equipment for that specific alloy wheel.

How to Determine an Alloy Wheel’s Size

There are a few key steps that must be done when sizing alloy wheels. Your alloy wheels can be professionally or personally sized while being installed, maintained, or modified.

Wheel diameter

The wheel diameter, also known as the pitch circle diameter, is the size of the circle into which your alloy wheel bolts are placed (PCD). By dividing the quantity of bolts by the diameter of the circle in which the bolts are located, which is often expressed in millimetres, you may get the PCD of your alloy wheels.

Width of a wheel

Your alloy wheel’s rim width, which is typically measured in inches, is the space between the outer and inner lips. This number is significant since each car has a certain wheel rim width to suit it properly.

Wheel offset

Wheel offset describes how alloy wheels fit into wheel wells and how far the wheel will be from both the hub-mounting surface and the centerline of the wheel. The closer the wheel is to the car’s body, the higher the number.

Wheel centre bore

The wheel centre bore, whose size is indicated in millimetres, is the hole on the back of the wheel that centres it on the mounting hub. Knowing this dimension is essential since, if the product doesn’t fit as it is, you might need one that can be modified to fit your automobile.
