In order to choose the right tires for the wheels, you need to know certain parameters, the non-observance of which will seriously worsen the car's behavior on the road. Since the tire is put on the rim of the disc, the width of the profile must be commensurate with it. We note right away that, despite the tuning common in recent years, automakers categorically do not recommend this. After all, if the sizes of disks and tires vary greatly, then the contact patch will not be even, which means that the control can get out of control.
In general, the question of matching tires and wheels can be considered from two sides. The first is the selection of tires and wheels based on the manufacturer's recommendations, and the second is this fitment. Fitment is the study of the fit of a tire on a rim and the position of the wheels relative to the wheel arches, which includes negative camber, low landing and other delights, which we will not talk about, because we consider it more important to tell you how to choose the right one from the point of view of safety and comfort tires to wheels.
To choose the right tires for the rims, you need to know the labeling of the rims.
Ideally, that is, to be sure of safety, the PCD of the disc (the diameter of the circle of the centers of the mounting holes) cannot be changed. In extreme cases, the sizes of wheels and tires may not match each other quite a bit, but then eccentric bolts are used for fastening, which allow you to install wheels with PCD 100 mm on cars with PCD 98 mm. However, it is worth noting that the maximum difference in displacement should not exceed 2 mm, and ideally, the tires and rims should still match one hundred percent.
The dimensions of the rims and tires must also match with their central hole, but if for some reason this is not possible, an adjusting ring (it is also a spacer ring) will come to the rescue. The adjusting ring has an outer diameter equal to the diameter of the hole in the disk, and the inner diameter corresponds to the diameter of the vehicle hub. If the adjusting ring is set correctly, then the running characteristics will not change. It should be noted that the discs do not have stamped mounting rings. Install them only on .
The labeling of the disks does not indicate the maximum load ( MAX LOAD), you can find out this parameter either in the passport, which some manufacturers of domestic wheels attach to their products, or look for this information on the website of the wheel manufacturer. This information is not very important, since manufacturers usually make discs with a margin of safety. But, if for some reason you decide to put, say, wheels for a car on a jeep, then the maximum load of the disk will be an important parameter. And if it is not taken into account, the wheel may not withstand the load and deform, even falling into a small hole.
In addition, even if the dimensions of the tires and rims match in all respects, there is still a risk that the rim will not fit on the car. The reason for this is the so-called X-factor, when the disc rests on the suspension parts or caliper, which is associated with the shape of the stamping or casting. Therefore, we recommend that you first try it on before beading the tire on the wheel.

When selecting discs, it is necessary to take into account the parameters and quality car rims. Rims and wheels in general are considered a very important part of a car, respectively. selection of wheels must be accurate. Since well-chosen and correctly selected car rims will affect the level of contact of the car with the road surface, the smoothness of the ride and the ease of control in the future. In addition, from the choice of certain rims will depend on the trajectory of the braking distance. For accurate and correct selection of disks for a car, it is necessary to know all the parameters of the disk. After all, only the right parameters will help determine the wheels for your car, as well as significantly improve the aerodynamic qualities of the car and prevent premature tire wear.
Select rims by car make
When selecting car rims it is necessary to take into account a number of mounting parameters, which include the center distance to the hub, the width of the rim, the diameter and density of the axial hole of automobile disks. In order to independently determine all these parameters, you must have sufficient experience and skills, or spend time studying all these data and all sorts of nuances.
It has long been known that car wheels are almost a quarter of the total surface area of the car. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that most car owners strive to give their car ambition and individuality, while trying to choose wheels for cars, which will be the most suitable for the needs of motorists. Today, most car owners use cast wheel rims therefore, a large demand creates an offer. Such a variety of proposed models can greatly complicate the selection process. That is why the correct selection of the parameters of car rims is considered necessary in order to be able to evaluate the whole picture as a whole.
Today, selling tires and alloy wheels is more of a matter of trust. Because if you take into account a huge number of disc manufacturers and tires, buyers are often confused at the time of selection. Besides selection of wheels It is considered a rather complicated process that requires certain knowledge and skills in this area, since the choice also concerns the load and other permissible vehicle parameters.
Eg, stamped car rims are considered the cheapest of all existing types of rims. That is why such models of rims are installed mainly on budget cars. In addition, it is these rims that are considered the most durable and practically indestructible. Therefore, unlike all other existing types of automobile wheels, only stamped rims do not unfold during a strong impact, but only bend. Stamped car wheels are very easy to restore, after which they are used further.
How to choose the right wheels for the car?
To make the right choice and choose the right rims, in addition to knowing all the important parameters, it is necessary to distinguish between types of disks. In addition to the cheapest stamped wheels, there are also alloy wheels, the main advantage of these light alloy wheels their relative lightness is considered. Standard cast wheels, which are made of aluminum, are about a kilogram lighter than iron car rims.
In addition, cast wheels are almost completely resistant to corrosion, and besides, the manufacturing technology of these wheels provides an excellent opportunity to give them absolutely any shape, and this is too important for design.
It’s just that you shouldn’t idealize cast car wheels, because if an iron disk breaks, you can reanimate it very easily, but if microcracks appear on the cast car disk or the disk just cracked, unfortunately, this cannot be corrected and restored.
In addition to stamped and cast car wheels, there are also forged wheels. This type of rims is considered the same stamping, only hot. At the time of production of forged wheels, manufacturers use magnesium and aluminum alloys. Of all existing types of car rims forged wheels are considered the easiest. The difference between forged wheels and alloy wheels is that at the moment of impact, they do not crack, forged wheels simply bend, which is why they can always be repaired.
But if a motorist wants his car to look stylish, fashionable and beautiful, forged wheels will not be a very suitable option.
Recently stamped and forged car rims have been replaced by cast rims. Experts say that competent conduct selection of alloy wheels showcase your great sense of style. And it is simply impossible to argue with this, because the selection of rims is a necessary and important detail for any car, and besides, it is part of the image component. Therefore, most modern car owners do not save at all on the purchase of high-quality rims and do the right thing.
Internet shop of tires and disks "Dilijans" offers motorists a huge selection of high-quality car rims for various car brands.

When choosing car tires and wheels, the main and often the only factor is the compatibility of these components with a particular make and model of a car. Many motorists are familiar with technical specifications such as wheel settings or tire sizes. This, of course, is wonderful, because it allows you to very quickly select literally a few options on your own. However, there are quite a few such "advanced" motorists. There are far more of those who, for whatever reason, prefer not to go into such technical details about their cars.
It is for them, first of all, that the service is oriented, which allows you to automatically select car rims and tires according to the make and model of the car. User participation in this process is minimized and consists only in choosing from the available options, first the brand, and then the model and year of manufacture of the vehicle. After a few moments, the system will automatically select from thousands of tires and rims exactly those that exactly match the recommendations of car manufacturers.
This is extremely important, given the huge danger of using tires and wheels with unsuitable technical parameters. As a rule, such changes in the vehicle configuration are caused by the need to improve some of its driving characteristics or give it a more spectacular appearance. In real operation, such experiments end with a deterioration in controllability, damage to various suspension parts, an increase in fuel consumption, and a distortion of the current speed indicators. Some of these changes to the performance of the vehicle significantly reduce the level of safety, which is unacceptable.
That is why you should not neglect the recommendations of automakers, which are based on the results of engineering calculations that describe the operation of various components and parts of the car, primarily the suspension. At the same time, all the most important indicators of safety, controllability and comfort are taken as the basis, each of which is verified during full-scale tests or using computer simulation technologies.
An automated system for selecting rims and tires makes it possible to exclude such a development of events by offering, based on the data specified by the user, at least several options. This greatly simplifies and facilitates the choice, but, again, not for everyone. We recommend this category of motorists to contact the specialists of our company. They will provide more detailed information about a particular wheel or tire model, pointing out various nuances.
