Measuring the size of the car rims:

Measuring the size of the car rim is done in a very different manner, since it depends mostly on the size of the tire. A letter in the alphabet and a number such as R14, R15, R16, etc denotes the tire size. The numbers will act as your guide in looking for the right rim size. Remember, any Tire shop should have a means to help you in determining the right rim size for your car.

For instance, if the wheel size is R14, then this means that the car requires a 14-inch hubcap, wheel, or rims. If the wheel of the car is measured using a measuring tape, then you will end up having over a 15-inch rim instead.

When it comes to picking the right rims size for your car or truck, you do not require a measuring tape. All one needs is a little experience and rational thinking.
