Tire size replacement table

Every motorist eventually comes to the moment when he wants to make a certain upgrade of the car. But any modification entails not only design changes, but also the improvement or deterioration of running gear. But is it possible to change tire sizes? Undoubtedly, this also applies to car tires with disks. Replacing tires and wheels is one of the most popular tuning manipulations. Everyone knows that wider and higher tires give the car solidity and attractiveness, even if the modified vehicle belongs to the budget category. But is increasing tire size really a good idea? Let's look at three options for replacing rubber with a factory dimension of full profile, low profile or extra low profile tire replacement options.

To begin with, it should be understood that the native size is chosen by designers for a reason. It is formed based on the technical capabilities of the car, its traction and acceleration characteristics. Also, the initial size is affected by the shape of the car body, weight, and its purpose.

Tire size is determined by three values, for example, in a tire with a size of 185 65 R14 they will be interpreted as follows:

  • 185 - profile width (not the tread!) in mm;
  • 65 - profile height in % of the profile width;
  • R14 - internal diameter in inches.

Changes to certain parameters have consequences in terms of clutch quality. Moreover, each case is private, there is no specific rule on how this or that modernization will affect the ride. In case of a planned change, it is necessary to consult with a specialist. Below is a table of replacement tire sizes.

Wheel width, tire profile height. Tire index tables.

For example: you have a 175/70 R13 wheel on your car. Using this table, we determine the profile height of your tire 175 by 70, we get 12.2 cm. If you want to put the tire wider and leave the wheel height the same, then select a value close to 12.2 from the table.
We get the size 205/60 R13. If you want to increase the size of the disk, leaving the wheel height the same, the following calculations are necessary: ​​175/70 R13 the profile of this wheel according to the table is 12. 2 cm, multiply it by 2 because. wheel height consists of two profile values ​​12.2x2=24.4 cm. Next, add the size of the disc, R13 is 13 inches, convert to cm. 13x2.54=33cm. Then add the two values ​​24.4+33=57.4cm. this is the full height of the wheel. Now, having done some simple calculations, you will understand that you can put 195/50 R15 or 185/60 R14, for these sizes, the wheel height is about the same - 57cm. But we should not forget that with an increase in the width of the tire, it is desirable to increase the width of the disk. Usually, the standard wheel height on the machine can be increased by 1, maximum 2 sizes. Before you change the dimension of the wheel, you can always consult with our highly experienced specialists. In some cases, the car has regular wheels of the same radius, but different widths, and the height of the wheels must be the same. (BMW 7 SERIES front 235/50 R 18, rear 255/45 R18). For all these calculations, this table was created.
