A Little Upgrade Can Make a Big Difference

Transform the look and feel of your vehicle without breaking the bank. 


If you are looking to transform the look of your vehicle, try adding a new set of wheels, tires, or rims. With so many options available, it may be hard to choose. Here are a few tips for making the right purchase for your wants and needs. 


Price

Different tires are available at varying price points. Some tires come with a smaller section width made for more compact vehicles—the distance from sidewall to sidewall—while others support larger vehicles or are made to manage higher speeds or inclement weather. 


Size

Vehicle hub sizes vary greatly depending on make and model—so make sure you are looking at the correct size for your vehicle before you buy. Keep in mind, as the diameter of a wheel increases, so will the price. Not sure about your tire size? It's the combination of letters and numbers located on the side of your tire. Use our Tire Finder Tool to start shopping for tires. Simply enter your vehicle's year, make, model, and tire size. Once you've selected the right set, schedule an appointment at Taylor Automotive.


Bolt Pattern

Although the diameter and width of your tires matter, the bolt pattern is also very important. Your vehicle’s bolt pattern can be the difference between wheels that fit and ones that don’t. Picture the bolt pattern as a circle measured at the center of each wheel stud. 


Fit

Tire offset (the distance from center of the wheel to the mounting surface) and backspacing (the distance from the back of the wheel to the mounting surface) are also important considerations to keep in mind. Higher and lower offsets mean different clearance levels between the inside edge of the tire and your vehicle’s suspicion components. If you ignore fit, your tires may experience fender rub which can greatly reduce their life—requiring replacement sooner rather than later.
