Wheel Fitment

• In the picture the wheel has a different number of bolt holes than my vehicle requires, does this wheel still fit my vehicle correctly?
• Many wheel manufacturer's only supply one main image for each wheel design, but the wheel model will be available in a variety of fitments. The picture is for illustration purposes of the spoke design only, so sometimes may show a different number of bolt holes to your vehicle, but the wheels will be supplied with the correct stud pattern for your vehicle. Once you select your vehicle details on our website, the website will only display wheels that ARE MADE in the correct stud pattern (PCD) for your vehicle.
• The website says that the wheels fit my vehicle, but how do I know that they actually do?
• Our website data is compiled by our experienced wheel experts from a variety of sources: vehicle manufacturers, wheel manufacturers, ETRTO data, TüV documents, 3rd party wheel fitment data companies, specialist tuner companies, our own experiences, customer experiences, and more… The data is then cross referenced to eliminate any inaccuracies, providing the most comprehensive and advanced wheel fitment data available via the web in the UK. No other UK website checks as many fitment aspects as our website does! For more information click here.
• Do I need to ensure that all the technical aspects of my new wheels match my original/existing wheels?
• Every vehicle has a range of suitable fitments, including a range of wheel diameters,widths and offsets, and there is absolutely no need to remain exactly to the original manufacturer specifications. You'll find that only a small minority of aftermarket wheels are produced in the original OE specifications, so if youare very strict with your fitment specification this will drastically reduce the number of options available to you. You can place your trust in Rimstyle.
• Can I fit the wheels myself?
• Each set of alloy wheels sold is provided with detailed fitting / care guidelines. It is very important that these guidelines are correctly followed, not only for your safety, but also to prolong the life of your new wheels/tyres. If you are unsure at any stage of the fitting procedure then our sales team will be happy to advise you by phone or email. If you are neither qualified to, nor competent/experiencedin wheel fitting, we advise that your new wheels and tyres are fitted professionally by a qualified garage/mechanic.
• The website says that the wheels fit my vehicle, but how do I know that they actually do?
• Our website data is compiled by our experienced wheel experts from a variety of sources: vehicle manufacturers, wheel manufacturers, ETRTO data, TüV documents, 3rd party wheel fitment data companies, specialist tuner companies, our own experiences, customer experiences, and more… The data is then cross referenced to eliminate any inaccuracies, providing the most comprehensive and advanced wheel fitment data available via the web in the UK. No other UK website checks as many fitment aspects as our website does! For more information click here.
• WillI need to use my original wheel bolts/nuts?
• With the majority of our wheels we include a FREE fitting kit, which includes abrand new set of wheel bolts or nuts, dependant on vehicle specification, and 4x Free Spigot rings (if required). There are some alloy wheels which aredesigned to accept the original OE wheel bolts or nuts, in which case we may not supply new bolts or nuts. This is particularly common with some Porsche and Commercial fitments, and we do indicate on the final product page whether the bolts/nuts are included.

Tyres

• Do the tyres come fitted on the wheels in the online packages?
• Yes, unless you request otherwise, all of our package come with the tyres carefully mounted to the wheels using the latest in tyre fit technology, and the wheel and tyre units are then digitally balanced using our top of the range Corghi machines.
• Is it ok to have bigger wheels and tyres than what my car has as standard?
• In most cases yes, and the website will show you the approved compatible sizes foryour vehicle. As the wheel size increases, the tyre profile is reduced, to keep your speedometer and geometry of the vehicle correct and within approvals.
• Can I have a different size tyre to what is shown online?
• On each wheel diameter approved for a car, there is often more than one approved conversion tyre size for the vehicle, so this is certainly possible. From the approved tyre sizes suitable for each car, rimstyle.com works with the optimum size/s, but other sizes are possible. We will work with you to ensure tyre aspects such as load and speed rating remain suitable.
• What do the numbers and letters on the side of tyres mean?
• You will find on the sidewall of your tyres a number that follows suit with the following example: 205/40R17, which illustrates the tyre width, side-wall profile, and diameter, commonly followed by numbers and a letter. These illustrate the load capability and maximum speed capability of the tyre.
• The tyre brand I want isn't shown online, can you supply them?
• Yes, we can look to source and supply all brands of tyres. Our website displays avast range from our stocked and regularly supplied brands, and is filled with top tyre recommendations, but if you can't find the tyre you are looking for on the site, just call or drop us an email…
• Are budget tyres ok to use?
• Budget entry level tyres sold in the UK are designed to offer a cheaper, more affordable alternative compared to a high end tyre model, whilst still meetingthe requirements and safety standard approvals stipulated by UK motoring law.
• Do you only supply car tyres, for normal road use?
• No, we can supply tyres from everyday 'about town' use to race track tyres, from car to van, from fast road to off road!
• Do you offer Winter tyres?
• Yes we offer an excellent range of winter packages to suit all needs, available all year round to purchase, ready for winter motoring, and these winter models are marked online with the snowflake symbol.
