The Ins and Outs of OEM Wheel Sizing
When it comes to OEM wheels, there are a few key measurements to keep in mind: diameter, bolt pattern, and width. Our 21-inch wheels feature a bolt pattern of 120mm and a width of 9.5 inches. But what do these numbers actually mean?
Diameter
Wheel diameter refers to the distance across the face of the wheel, from one edge to the other, measured in inches. It's important to choose the right diameter for your vehicle, as it affects everything from handling and performance to appearance and tire fitment.
Bolt Pattern
Bolt pattern refers to the number and spacing of the bolts that attach the wheel to the hub. It's essential to match the bolt pattern of your wheels to the bolt pattern of your vehicle, or they won't fit properly.
Width
Wheel width refers to the distance between the outermost edges of the wheel, measured in inches. This measurement affects tire fitment as well, so be sure to choose the right width for your vehicle.
Why OEM Wheels Are Your Best Bet
When it comes to wheel replacement, OEM is always the way to go. That's because OEM wheels are manufactured to the exact same standards as your original wheels, ensuring a perfect fit and top-notch performance. Plus, they maintain the resale value of your vehicle and come with a warranty for added peace of mind.
