1. Not getting bulletproof tires.
2. Getting the same wheels on all your cars.
3. Painting the wheels to match the car. (It doesn’t always work)
4. Always matching the tire smoke to the characters.
5. Not getting the custom tires.
Or could just go on willtheyfit.com pointless video 😂

If you know....you know
@@sybscribem3sableminded126 all bullshit aside thank you for posting that link lmao
Remember kids, tire quality is always more important then how the wheels look on the car. Grip and control are always important. Flashy wheels, stretched tires, etc. All mean nothing if your car is stuffed into a ditch or guard rail because you cheaped out or cut corners (no pun intended.)
Thanks Dad Grandpa and Mom
@@timesn7774 take tires seriously I cheaped out and lost my dream car
@@JJ-vp4jz yeah definitely. I take caution bcux tires are close to everything considering they touch the ground.
Thanks for the great information! I'm looking into getting some new wheels and I want an aggressive look. Wheels/tires ain't cheap. I better get it right the first time. Your videos are helping me make wise decisions.
Love your content and obvious knowledge.
As a automotive service provider I see it all the time... somebody buys custom low profile tires and wheels and as Murphy always does a tire is destroyed when the checking account balance is less than $200 or between the towns of nowhere and nothing and have to be somewhere right now.
This is awesome! I know I want some 19x9.5 rims on my 2002 Acura RL so I stopped by your website searched my car and found EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you so much!

This video is good content! I know nothing about rims besides what I think looks good. I'm ready to buy, but I know there's a lot more learn first. This video helped me to pump the brakes, so to speak. I am headed right to the site!
For the tire sizing part, I always check with a tire calculator. Would suggest it to everyone. Just put in the size tires that originally came on your car and the size tire you want to buy for your wheels. Mine will tell me the speed difference and if it's OK to use on my car. It's a great little app that you can get on your phone too.
Definitely a good idea!
which one do you use, I've used tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ recently
I don't use a website based one as I can access my phone's app and the Microsoft app on my PC a lot faster and easier than going to a website. If you use a website, it should still be fine though. Otherwise, for the android phone, I use the "Tire Size Calculator" app by Aimen RG. I like using this the best since it will literally tell you if it's a recommended tire fitment or not compared to the stock. For the Microsoft store, I use "Tire Sizer". It doesn't tell you if it's recommended or not but it still tells you the speed difference, which to me, is what mostly matters.
1st mistake in making a video about mistakes when buying wheels and tires is putting ESR wheels in the beginning....

i kiddddd, nice video👍
Hey don't be mean ;)
Fitment Industries hi would all terrain 33x12.5r15s fit 20x8.5?
Esr wheels aren’t great?
This channel is dope it’s gonna blow up
Spread the word :D
I'm still going to say nankang as-2+ are incredible tires for the price, currently installed on my jr18 18" 225. And the grip is actually better than the pirelli cinturato p1 I was using on the 195 15 stock wheels I was using on my a3 1.8t
So "cheap" tires aren't always bad. Specially considering how nankang ar1 are being used by almost everyone at nurburg.
Nice quick video, way to add some value to the car Community! I actually was planning on doing a similar video for my channel.
Thanks, man!
Don't forget that the size stamped on the side of the tire only puts the tire in a class of sizes. They can vary greatly in diameter, tread width and section width between models and brands.
Thank you, your fitment gallery is super helpful! I’m looking at Super Speed RF03RR from a Canadian company at 18x8.5 35mm vs stock WRX 18x8.5 55mm offset , more offset difference than I wanted but no one can touch this company other than Konig in terms of $ per pound. At 18.1 pounds that will save me 6.3 pounds per wheel.
apex arc 8 wheels would look great on your wrx
Nice video!
Thanks!
“ I turn upset off, I turn offset on “

Ghey
Hub bore is the mistake that got me. You think you have the right wheels and dimensions then go to slap it on and it won't sit flush on the hub. Luckily I had some spacers for a temporary fix.
s soon you need hub centric rings not spacers
I have 92 honda civic ex looking into getting 15 in rims for it any recommendations offsets ext want them to stick out but not too much.
So I'm looking into getting some new rims for my 2016 BMW 328i xDrive but mounting them on the original Pirelli tires that came with it. I believe the tires are 225/45/R18. Correct me if I am wrong. (they came with the turbine OEM rims).
Im planning on getting Niche Misanos, 18x8.5 for the front and 18x9.5 for the rear with 35 offset. First of all will these tires fit properly on these rims? Is stretching the tires a good idea? Is putting these exact square tires on these exact staggered rims a good idea? Will I have any issues with the xDrive down the road or jittering while driving it?
And another things is what are the minimum specs you'd recommend for my battery also. Again I have a '03 Lincoln Navigator SUV. I live in Central NY where it's cold most of the year around. So I know the CCA has to be a bit higher. About 750. But what else should I be inquiring about as far as a battery?
I bought cheap tires they are Nankang for front and federal SS 495 for the rear and they do just fine, the handling is amazing for me. I don't see what wrong with buying low-budget tires as long it new and don't care if it loud or etc.
If anyone is wondering the music playing in the background is Lust by Lil Skies Instrumental
😁
I got a 18x9.5 30+ wheel, I dont want too much of a stretch on my tires, I'd actually like for of the tires perched over the rim and be secured but idk what size to get, maybe 235x40? Need the help...
Add on the list AWD myths. You can actually stagger but circumference on tire has to be Close to 1%. Doesn't have to have squared setup
welcome back alex!
Hi
What is the best size of after market wheels and tires for 2014 focus titanium hatchback and the best offset
0:56 awwwww those rims on the 370!!!
JNC wheels any good? I ordered some and I'm asking now haha. I looked some info online but the only real thing I was able to find was that they are aluminum alloy wheels. Everyone says reps are bad but nothing really against JNC wheels. Thanks!
Hello great video. Learn alot from this video. I have a honda accord 03. I would like to know if I put 17 inch size rim. what size of tire I should that would make the ride comfortable and is the right size I should be using. thanks again
Check out what people are doing here: www.fitmentindustries.com/wheel-offset-gallery?order=year&make=Honda&model=Accord
Do you actually have to buy new tires if you get new rims? I’m new at this
I’m looking to get rims for my new Tesla Model S. I’m finding it difficult to ensure the wheels and tires work without rubbing. I want a square setup and would like to use the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S with the Tsport TSS rims. Thoughts? TY
Could you all do a video over the importance of hub bore size when buying wheels? Thanks.
We definitely can!
Hey bro, quick question!
I have a BMW E70 X5 3.0
I am trying to install some new staggered rims that I have. The rim measurements are 20x9.5 and 20x10.5.
What size tires should I buy so they can fit how it’s designed too.
Ive been told that it’s important that I get the correct tires for the staggered rims, otherwise my car will detect some balancing errors.
If anyone has the answers help me! Haha
Hey any odds or end for Diamond racing? Going on a 99 ej6 sedan. I was thinking 15x9 with a -25 (ish) to give enough of a lip.
I'm looking to get a set of the 22" Ruff R955 Machined black but I'm unsure of what the width should be. Wether it should be 22x8,8.5 or 9. I plan on lowering it just to close the gap from wheel to well. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? thank you
This video help e learned a lot. I wish I had seen this before purchasing my wheels from AudioCityUSA. I had a bad experience with them especially that last set. They claimed that the wheels I ordered with fit my 2015 Genesis Sedan (Ultimate Tech Package and Big Brakes). When the wheels arrived, it fitted the but the front wheels is hitting the Big Brakes. It took them 3 days to respond and recommend a 3mm wheel spacer. Guess what, it is still hitting the Brakes. It has to be at least >5mm. Now this is the fun part, discount tires refused to mount the wheels because of the spacers and safety issues. They dont want to be held liable because the wheels are bolted
That's what we are here for man

Is it recommended to use the same width front and rear ? Or narrow front and wider rear? Please make a video about it.
I’m a little late but just bought a used 2017 mustang GT with squared RTR 19/9.5 rims... want to put 275/35 front and 295/35 in the rear but I daily drive my car. (about 10k miles a year, recently commute further). Should I still put 285/35 squared? Or do you think I could do it without getting the money sucked out from under me?
I have a 09 g8 and ots on coilovers and need to know what offset and spec to run. I want to keep the 18 inch rim size tho just a new rim set up . Any info will be greatly appreciated
Is that black rim next to you the japan racing model?
Can u tell me what alternate sized (well every size that works) tires I can use for my base “03 Lincoln Navigator. They come with stock 255/70 R18.
I just checked our site and I do not see anything that we offer! However, If you shoot our guys at Custom Offsets with an email they would love to help you out!
I'm currently running 17x6j stock wheels with stock 195 45 17 tyres what's the highest j wheels I could run on the same tyres with it still being daily drivable I was thinking 7 or 7.5x17 wheels and also debating downsizing to 7 or 7.5j x 16 inch wheels and just getting new tyres because obviously 17 tyres won't go on 16 wheels
I plan on buying Rays Gramlight 57cr 18x9.5 +38 offset for my FR-S. what will be the best tire fitment ?
Damn, prefect timing. So I've rims, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.
The tires I have a Nexen N-Fera SU1, 225/40/R19 in the front, 255/40/R19. Will the fit be good? Or is there mistakes with the tire sizes.
Currently I've 225/40/R18 all around my car.

Fitment Industries done! Just waiting for an accept
Maybe i missed! But I’m looking for nothing to crazy but i just want to increase the size of my rim a 1 size or so and I’m wondering if you have a video on that subject
I am looking to upgrade the rims on a 1997 c230 from 15” to 17” MSW 14.. are MSW good rims? And I am thinking of 215/55/17 tires. What are your suggestions or recommendations?
What size rim you do recommend for a 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage? I wanna go 17” but everyone telling me 16” is better.
I have a Jeep Wrangler with P245/75/R17 all terrain tires, what is the widest wheel that will fit with it?
You guys should do a vid dedicated to tyre stretch :)
Sure will! Thanks for the recommendation boss!
I agree
Stretch is stupid
Ya Hya tyre stretch is fucking disgusting and stupid
Alex Tyrone fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion... I personally like both looks, stretched and "proper" meaty tyre fitments... depending on the car and stance the owner is going for. Not really into crazy extreme (and dangerous!!!) Stretch I think it looks a bit nasty like a pimple about to pop.... but IMHO a 275/30/20 on a 20x11 is approx. 10mm from the outer barrel lip which is a mild stretch that's on the money!!! Either way I'd still like to see Fitment Industry's take on it seeing as a fair deal of their fitment vids showcase at least a mild stretch
i have a bmw e82 coupé and i want 19" wheel but i dont want the rim to go out from the car so what offset should i look for? :)
Hello, i badly need your expert advice..I need to know what is the perfect tire specs for my wheels..here are my wheels specs 18x7.5 +45 Front, 18x8.5 +50 Rear, i want to achieve a slightly meaty setup that will not compromised the performance of my car..thanks in advance👍
I have a completely stock 2017 honda Accord sport sedan. I want to to go 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the back. First of all will this fit and second, what size tire should I use. I understand that it's fwd car and there is no benefits from staggering it. I simply like the look. I am aware this will cause under steer. the only way someone would really notice that is if they push the car to the limits by taking it to the track which I don't so I am pretty sure I won't even notice the under steer
This shit stressing me out
great video, thanks. I am a bit puzzled with the tyre on my car which is a R17 but when I measure the rim fitted on the tyre I get about 18.5 inch across (that's the exposed part of the rim from the wheel) which doesn't make sense.... did I measure the rim incorrectly?
You can see exactly how to measure here: th-cam.com/video/BrkJM-azfUw/w-d-xo.html
Hi I want to make my stock nissan juke look tough instead of fast, also im living in the philippines and the roads here arent friendly can you recommend a tire wheel set up for me 😁
Hey i found you videos very educational, i would like some advice please. I have a 97 crv If I'm trying to put a tire size of 215 75r15 on it what size rim should i put on it?
You would have to go with a 15-inch wheel if that's the tire you purchased already!

Edgar Rivera I have 9j et33 on mine, your body is 40mm wider so 10's will fit fine, et around 25. Of course depending on your suspension setup.
I got a 69 MGB GT and i'm swapping out the knock-off wire wheels with a 4-lug hub conversion from Mossmotors. Any idea on what type of wheels would fit in the wheel well without adding flares? 16" rims are the goal.

Please guide me for the right tyre size. I have staggered works wheel. Front 8.5j and rear 10j for my 10th generation Corolla 2012 e140
So i want to buy the XXR 559 19x8.5 20 from your website for my Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart 2014....it is completely stock and I want them to fit...also i will lower the car to with some lowering springs/or coilovers.....the think is I want the wheels/tires first..
I want to buy a Blaque Diamond BD15, but kind of confused as the bolt pattern is different (mine on charger is 5x115) the one they have is 5x112 . And its almost impossible to find a wheel with same bolt pttern as mine. Maybe help if theres any solution?
Great Video! I am having a really hard finding out about wheel fitment, and what would work for my car. It is a 2018 Subaru wrx sti. It has the new larger brakes, and I don't want to make a mistake buying the wrong sized wheels. It comes stock with 19'' wheels. I don't know the exact fitment. I was wondering if 19x9.5 +38 would work with my car, on a stock suspension? Will there be rubbing issues? The wheels I want are the te37 ultras, in the 19".
Thanks very much!
What's up man! I think for the 2018 WRX's the 19 x 9.5 with +38 set up, The fitment would look pretty damn good! Also it looks like there would be no rubbing, But I would shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can figure that out for you as we have the tools to find out if those wheels will clear those brakes!
@@FitmentIndustries thanks a lot!
Hi i just bought new wheels off you guys. 18x8.5 +35mm wheel do my 225/45/18 wheels fit them?
i got a e46 m3
getting rid of my stock wheels ,
getting apex rims now , using the car for a daily/hooning,
should i go 8.5 front and 9.5 back or 9 front and 9.5 back ??
I have an EVO 7 stock and i want a rim or wheel that will fit my evo 7 without any fender rubbing or fender rolls to prevent this. My question is what tire and wheel size is right one for me that will give my evo a safe and most aggresive look to fill the gaps on my wheel to fender without any alterations or rubbing issues?
If i have a charger rt and i want to put some scatpack rims with the same size , do i have to change out my tires or can I just replace the rims ?
As long as all the wheel dimensions are exactly the same as the stock ones you will be fine. Just make sure to google the wheel dimensions and don’t go off the ones it says on the tire :)
2015 wrx limited any suggestions for wheels and tires ?
RWD with 185/65/r15 stocks in front, 195/65/r15 in the rear.. will this trigger the ABS?
What’s would be a square wheel and tire setup you would recommend for a ‘16 Accord?? I want either 18x9.5 or 19x10.. not sure of offset but what would you recommend?? Ps looking for a square setup stance like what you see on EVO’s.. thanks in advance..

Whats the best fitment for a hyundai accent sedan model 2018?
Going 265/35/18 15 9.5 Front 275/35/18 15 10.5 in the back on federal 595s , Enkei RPF1 on my 2006 350z on stock suspension. Will this fit ?
I was looking into getting the xxr 527 from you guys. Will a 17x7.5 +40 fit a 2016 Subaru Impreza wagon? The original is a17x7 + 48... doing the math on wheel fitment calculator says it will stick out 14mm further outward. Would this cause any rubbing or fitment issues or am I good? The car is stock height. I'm also using the stock 205/50R17 tyres. Thanks!
a lot of people in our gallery are running 8.5 wides. Here's a link to all our imprezas in our gallery, all the specs are listed on the vehicles so you'll know exactly what to run :D
Fitment Industries I'm on an iPhone but I don't see a link
What are the figments to a 2013 Subaru Legacy?
1. Nankang gang, no exceptions
2. Refer to #4
3. If your sidewall bigger than your lips you picked the wrong setup
4. Get some chrome to ya dome hot boi lips, problem solved
5. Tuck the wheel in as much as you can, extend outwards with lip as much as possible, and then some
BarberKid You mind translating that in proper English without sounding ghetto
BarberKid So rice. Never run Nankangs, they're garbage
I've had a really good run on some Nankang AS-1 they've lasted me almost 3 summers on 18x9/10
Gamer Gamers I've been considering a set of Ling long just never heard anyone talk about them
I bought banking ns-20 tires under that assumption. Never again. Their higher price tires may be better but I'm never going with ns-20s again
+Fitment Industries what are your thoughts on work wheels specifically the work emotion cr kiwami? are they good? for a Nissan 350z?
We love Work and their wheel lines. Some can be a bit heavy but they have nearly paralleled quality. If you're looking to pickup a set, we do have an account with them and can get them custom built for your car. Just shoot us quote form at www.fitmentindustries.com/quote !
Question :
My Audi Q5 came with 235/55 R19 wheels/tires, I want to upgrade to the 20" Audi wheels found in S classes. What tire size should be good then to have the same clearance. Thanks.
This vehicle in running a 275/35 check out the fitment and see if its something you like!

Hey can I put a 20/8.5 rim on a 235/40R19 tire ?
What wheels would you suggest buying for a stage 1 2009 sti? I don't want to stance, slam or widen my car. Just a regular setup. I live in the mountains of colorado so I drive over a lot of passes and experience snow throughout most of the year. I'd like something nice though. Any help or opinions are appreciated.
For sure man we would love to get you set up with some wheels, did you possibly consider getting tires as well seeing as how you also drive in winter conditions?
F-19x10 +17 3.5" lip
R-19x11 +17 4" lip
It's for my z34. I'm lowering it and would like to know what's the best tire size to stretch on these wheels. Nothing extreme. Appreciate the time.
Hi, I am getting 18x8 and +35 and was wondering whats the best tires to go with this set? Thanks
Here are all the vehicles in our gallery running a 18x8 +35 setup
I'm buying wheels for the first time.I just bought a 2001 honda civic and i'm not sure what size rims to buy. I know my tires on 15 i inch but do i also need to look at width? can you tell me what size i need exactly in a wheel/rim?
Skies 🖤
Hi guys. I'll use 17x8 ET25 front, and 17x9 ET20 rear, in my BMW Z3. I was thinking in use 205/45 tires for all!!! Will look better if I use different measurements for front and rear? I need some opinion on this.
I believe man if you do the two separate sizes you will give a lower look for your ride but I would use all same of the bigger size as I like more of a square flush set up. 👍
Hi, i just got a Rota IK-R 18x9.5 and i'm wondering what tire size would go best for it?
I'm looking for an aggressive look that doesn't expose too much of the Rim Lip that may cause it to get scratched too much when accidentally hitting a curb.
I'm thinking 255/40 would give me a bit of a vertical wall but i'm not sure if the Rim Lip is still too exposed. 265/40 would be the best fit with a flat wall i assume.
my ride is a 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer btw. Stock Wheel and Tire would be 18x7.5 215/45
I was going to say, if you want some lip, I’d personally go with a 215-235, 225 on a more moderate stretch. I have 215s on my 9 wides and it’s pretty decent amount, 255 would give you no stretch, would just be flat. Check out our gallery too to see other options homie! Here’s a link. -Edgar

I was wondering what tire size is best to run on my 17’ Toyota 86 if I’m maxed out on tein flex a coilovers? I have the Rays gram lights 57cr 18x9.5 +38. I was considering some nankang 225/35 but still not entirely sure about it
Check out our gallery man we have a bunch of other Toyotas on our site with the specs you are looking for! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
What's your thoughts on wheel spacers? I have a 2006 BMW E46 330CI ZHP VERT and the stock rims are pretty dope but I want to widen the stance. Not just flush with the fender well but just past. I haven't lowered it yet but my coilovers are on the way. I hear staggered 12mm front and 15 rear but why not go 25? Talking 1cm difference?
If you haven't bought wheels yet, I would recommend looking at our gallery and all the 330ci's and see what they are running. :D
www.fitmentindustries.com/wheel-offset-gallery?order=year&make=BMW&model=330Ci
Fitment Industries sounds like a sales pitch. Was just asking your take on them with the stock ZHP. THANKS. I've already chosen 3 wheels I'm going to eventually narrow down to.
I have a 1998 Lexus GS300 with bc coilovers/ 2inch drop. I just got some (winter wheels) 18" 8.5 , what tires would be right.. 235/45 or 235/40 ? Thank you.
Whats up man I would go with the 235 / 40 otherwise you can take a look at our gallery to reference the fitment you are looking for! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
I have vossen vle 1's for a 2015 accord. Im looking into what tire size I need. I want a mild stretch and from the tire stretch guide i found it's lookin like 245-35-r20 Is what I need. What are your thoughts on that size
What size wheels?
