Have you ever wondered what the dimensions of an OEM wheel really mean? Let's break it down. The diameter of an OEM wheel refers to the distance between the two opposite ends of the wheel, across the center. Our OEM wheel diameter is 18 inches, which is the most popular size for passenger cars. Moving to bolt patterns, this refers to the number of bolts in a wheel and the distance between them, measured in millimeters. Our OEM wheel bolt pattern is 135mm, which is a common bolt pattern for domestic trucks and SUVs.

Finally, the width of an OEM wheel measures the distance between the two widest parts of the rim. Our OEM wheel width is 7.5 inches, which is a standard size for most passenger cars. It's important to note that the width of the wheel also affects the optimal tire size, so it's crucial to choose the right width for your vehicle.
