Before you choose wheels.
A good-looking setup is only useful if the details match your car. Start with these generation-specific checks.
- Note brake, steering-knuckle and lower-control-arm changes that affect the wheel’s working clearance.
- Identify four- or five-lug hardware and brake conversions on the actual car before comparing wheel specifications.
- Record steering-angle modifications, bodywork and wheel spacers, which can materially change clearance.
Record the complete setup.
Track front and rear separately, even on a square setup. Wheel diameter and width alone cannot establish clearance.
- Wheels
- Exact brand and model, diameter × width, nominal offset, bolt pattern and hub bore.
- Spacers
- Explicit front and rear thickness in millimeters. Enter zero only after confirming there are no spacers.
- Tires
- Brand, model and full size on each axle. Nominal sizes do not guarantee the same measured section width.
- The car
- Market, model year, trim, body style, brake package, suspension, alignment and any fender modifications.
- Real-world result
- Rubbing at steering lock, under compression and with passengers or cargo. Include conditions, not just “fits.”
Effective offset = wheel offset − spacer thickness
A spacer moves the wheel outward, but an offset calculation does not prove brake, tire, suspension or body clearance.
Year ranges are generation guides, not VIN decoders. Market introductions and model years can differ.
