The Ultimate Guide to OEM Wheels: Everything You Need to Know about Wheel Diameter, Bolt Pattern, and Width

At OEM RIM SHOP, we sell strictly OEM-manufactured wheels - no custom options - and we're your go-to source for all your wheel replacement needs. Here's everything you need to know about wheel diameter, bolt pattern, and width.
Introduction: Why Choosing the Right Wheels Matters
Choosing the right wheels goes far beyond aesthetics. Your vehicle's wheels play a crucial role in its overall performance and safety. The right wheels can improve handling, ride quality, and fuel efficiency, while the wrong wheels can compromise these things and even put you at risk on the road.
The Ultimate Guide to OEM Wheels
Wheel Diameter
Wheel diameter is the distance across the wheel from one end to the other, measured in inches. The OEM wheel diameter we carry is 21 inches. Larger wheel diameters can improve handling and add to the vehicle's overall appearance, but they can also decrease ride quality and increase the risk of damage from potholes, curbs, and other hazards.
Bolt Pattern
Bolt pattern refers to the number and spacing of the bolts that attach the wheel to the hub. The OEM wheel bolt pattern we carry is 120mm. It's essential to choose the right bolt pattern for your vehicle, as using the wrong pattern can cause the wheel to wobble, vibrate, or even fall off while driving.
Width
Wheel width is the distance between the wheel's inner and outer edges, measured in inches. The OEM wheel width we carry is 9.5 inches. The right wheel width can improve handling and traction, but too much or too little width can compromise performance and safety.
