Adding a set of custom wheels can add a lot of visual appeal to just about any vehicle. We’ve put together some recommendations to help you choose the right wheels for your car or truck, including aesthetics, safety, size, fit, and tech compatibility.
The style and finish on a set of custom rims can dramatically change the look of your car or truck. Start shopping right now or visit your local Les Schwab where you’ll find Wheel Discovery Centers. There, you can see specific sets of custom wheels on the make, model, year, and color of your vehicle. This is a great way to sift through the many options and narrow your choices before making a commitment.
Proper fit is crucial when choosing custom wheels. The pros at Les Schwab will help you look at three vital areas before choosing your set of wheels.
Overall Diameter: The wheel and tire combination should always clear the braking components, suspension parts, and the body of the vehicle. This is important whether you want to increase the diameter of your wheels for a street-worthy look, or decrease the wheel diameter for more tire sidewall and better off-road performance.
Offset and Backspace: To ensure proper clearance, it’s critical to know how far inside and outside the entire wheel and tire package will sit in the wheel well. Improper backspace or offset can cause interference with things like the body and steering components, and possibly decrease your turning radius.
Learn more about offset and backspace.
Proper Mounting: Many of today’s vehicles come from the factory with wheels that fit precisely around the hub. This is referred to as hub-centric fitment, which helps provide a consistent centering of the wheel and tire assembly when mounted to the vehicle. This reduces the chance of an imbalance that may result in a vibration in the steering wheel or seat while driving.
Our team understands the importance of maintaining a hub-centric fit whenever aftermarket wheels are being considered.
There are many sizes to consider when purchasing new wheels. The image below is an example of how plus and minus sizing works. Plus sizing boosts the diameter of your wheels while decreasing the profile of the tire sidewall to match the overall tire diameter suggested by the manufacturer. Minus sizing works in the opposite way to allow for a taller sidewall.
Here’s a comparison of how two wheel-tire packages of different sizes look on the same vehicle.
Car with 18-inch wheels. Note the higher tire sidewall.
Car with 20-inch, plus-sized wheel and low-profile tire. Note the shorter tire sidewall.
There are a variety of bolt patterns and your new custom wheels must match in order to fit your vehicle properly. Even if your vehicle has five lugs, there’s no guarantee that every five-hole wheel will fit.
At Les Schwab, we stock thousands of custom wheels and can help you find the right bolt pattern and fit for your vehicle.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) compatibility is also important. Equipped in most new vehicles, the TPMS in your vehicle should be reset after installing new wheels. At Les Schwab, we take care of that for you.
Keep in mind, that your options will be specific to the make and model of what you drive. Our team of pros understands what wheel and tire sizes will fit your vehicle and meet your performance expectations. Stop by today and to check out your options. With every custom wheel sale, Les Schwab will give you a free, written warranty good at any of our locations. This gives you peace of mind as you roll away on your new custom wheels.

| How-To - Wheels and Tires
When you buy a new set of wheels for your rig, the most important factor is looks.
That’s OK. Aesthetics are important to everyone, and they are an important factor when you buy wheels, but they shouldn’t be the only factor. Width, load rating, and offset are just a few of the other things you should consider when shopping for your next set of rims. To understand why these are important, we first must understand what they mean and how they apply to your 4x4.
Diameter
Large-diameter wheels are the trend right now, but both the wheels and the tires are more expensive than smaller-diameter offerings. Currently, 17-inch-diameter wheels have the most wheel and tire options and will fit over most brake packages. We typically like the wheel diameter to be less than half the overall tire diameter. For example, a 17-inch wheel would be the max for a 35-inch tire.
Width
Tire manufacturers list a range of recommended wheel widths for each specific tire. They typically recommend a wheel that is 2-3 inches narrower than the tire.
We like to run as narrow a wheel as recommended since this helps to keep the tire on the wheel at low air pressure. The tradeoff is that too narrow a wheel can cause the tire to crown, leading to accelerated wear in the center of the tread.
Offset
Offset refers to the wheel’s mounting surface relative to the centerline of the wheel. So a zero offset places half the wheel on each side of the mounting surface. Positive offset results in a narrower track width, with the mounting surface closer to the outside of the wheel. The opposite is true for negative-offset wheels.
Backspacing
Backspacing is similar to offset, but unlike offset, backspacing is dependent on the width of the wheel. Backspacing is the distance from the inside lip of the wheel to the mounting surface. Shallow backspacing is equivalent to negative offset, while deep backspacing is equivalent to positive offset.
Bolt Pattern
The bolt pattern of your wheels needs to match your axles, although in some situations adapters are available to convert the bolt pattern.
Most Jeeps use five-lug wheels, with current JKs being a 5-on-5 bolt pattern and earlier TJs and XJs being 5-on-4 1/2. The first number is the number of lugs, and the second number is the diameter in inches of the bolt circle.
Load Rating
Tires aren’t the only things load rated; wheels are as well. Load rating is a function of the wheel construction and bolt pattern. Steel wheels are often rated at lower loads than cast aluminum wheels, while forged wheels offer the highest load rating. Regardless of the type of construction, a wheel with more lug nuts and a larger bolt circle (such as 8-on-6 1/2 instead of 5-on-4 1/2) will offer a higher load rating due to the distribution of the load.
Center Bore
This refers to the hole in the middle of the wheel. The larger the bolt pattern circle is, the bigger the center bore can be, which is important when fitting over locking hubs and full-floating axles.
On hub-centric wheels, the center bore is critical to position the wheel on the axle, unlike lug-centric wheels that use the lug nuts to center the wheel.
Bead Seat
The bead seat on the wheel is what keeps the tire bead seated with the help of air pressure. The taller and wider this bead seat is, the lower the air pressure you can run without the tire coming off the wheel. Beadlock wheels add a mechanical clamp with bolts that hold the tire to the wheel (typically only on the outside bead), making it impossible for the tire to unseat even with zero air pressure.

Finding the right tire performance is just as important as choosing your car wheels. What do you need to know about tires? This is a part of a car, consisting of a rubber-metal material, which is put on the wheel rim to reduce the direct impact from contact with the road surface. It allows you to slightly smooth out vibrations from pits and protrusions on the road surface and protects the driver from excessive vibrations while traveling.
Summer tires are used for driving on dry and rainy roads. Winter tires at the same time are strongly erased on hard surfaces and quickly become unusable. In order not to unnecessarily risk your health, you should take into account the weather outside the window before you put on your car.
Sometimes the situation is saved by all-weather tires, which are adapted immediately for winter and summer conditions. Regarding other important parameters in the selection of tires, you can talk for a very long time.
Main characteristics: inner diameter, tire width, tread type, manufacturer's brand, cord, profile, etc.
