<h2>Looking for what wheels fit your car?</h2>
<p><strong>This is a beginners guide to wheel fitment. This is not a hardcore guide to every single car on the planet but a very basic guide for if you&#8217;re looking to purchase a new set of wheels for your car. If you have any questions at all on more specific fitments please leave a comment on the blog and we will be able to help with any information required.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>Rim Size:</strong></h2>
<p><strong>1) It is very uncommon to fit smaller wheels than OEM to your car however is possible and sometimes done in the stance scene.<br />
2) Often you take the factory fitment size and you can add around 1, 2 or 3 inches.<br />
3) Bigger you go, thinner the tyre profile and firmer the ride, the ride will be even more firm if you choose to go for a stretched tyre look.<br />
4) When you go extra large (say 3+ inches over original), your handling will start to be compromised greatly.<br />
5) Rim width is for people who understand what they want.  Basic setup is 15&#215;6.5 17&#215;7 18&#215;8, can go wider, not skinnier. If you want to increase the wheel width for a stanced car you usually add 2/3 inches in rim width from OEM. For example on a Honda Civic instead of using 14&#215;5.5&#8243; wheels you would use 15&#215;8.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>PCD: </strong></h2>
<p align="left"><strong>(number of studs and how far they are apart from each other in mm, ie. 4 studs / 98mm apart. This is shown as 4&#215;98)</strong><br />
Easy!</p>
<h2><strong>ET: </strong></h2>
<p align="left"><strong>(also referred to as &#8216;OFFSET&#8217;. Some fitments below don&#8217;t list it. No ET listed means most wheels will fit with a common offset) </strong> This makes sure your wheels fit flush with the arches or poke slightly for a stanced look if wanted and not too far in like a Lexus RX (this needs SPACERS guys!!!) Your car uses a unique offset, but it can be changed to suit your style in relation to the body line of the vehicle,</p>
<p align="left">1) Realistically you can go 5-7mm outside these recommendations in direct replacements. You can go much wider with arch work too.<br />
2) Always consult a technician if you are unsure, as there are often other factors that need to be considered.</p>
<p align="left">Most importantly, have fun. Your about to make your car look 100x better. <img src='http://www.potn.co.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
