Wheel size

Wheel diameter value is in Inches, it is the diameter of the wheel without the tire.

Wheel width value is in Inches, it is the width of the section between the mounting flanges on the wheel.

Offset has an ET (Einpress Tiefe) value in millimetres (mm) which indicates the distance between the mounting surface and the geometric centre of the wheel.

Often displayed as:

18 x 8 ET35

Tire size

Tire width value is in millimetres (mm), it is the first value when reading tire size.

Tire Profile value is a percentage of the wheel diameter, typically between 35 and 55 it is the height of the tire sidewall.

Often displayed as:

Wheel 2 Analysis

  • Wheel 2's overall diameter (including the tire) is 14 mm bigger than Wheel 1.
  • Wheel 2's face will poke out 25.7 mm more than Wheel 1.
  • Wheel 2 has an inner rim which is 0.3 mm further away from suspension strut than Wheel 1.
