How do I know what tires fit my rims?

Width and diameter are the two factors that determine tire and rim compatibility. For diameter you’ll need to be sure that your tires and wheels are an exact match, e.g. a 215/65R17 tire will only fit on a 17″ diameter wheel. There’s a bit more flexibility when it comes to wheel widths.

What size tires can I put on 17 inch rims?

Are 17 or 19-inch wheels better?

The 19-inch wheels are going to be the fastest and the 17-inch wheels and tyres are going to be the slowest. This is because of the fact that as the sidewall height is decreased in increasing the wheel size the handling becomes a lot sharper as the wheel face interacting with the road increases more.

Are 17 or 16 inch wheels better?

The smaller 16-inch wheels come with tyres that have larger sidewalls that act as cushions against sharp edges on the roads, like ruts and potholes. While 17-inch tyres look much better, the shorter sidewalls aren’t as good in filtering out road shocks.

Can you change tire size without changing rim?
