Reading the table
What these columns mean
- OE fitment
- The package fitted at the factory for that trim.
- Alternative
- A size the car accepts without modification — plus-sizing, winter setups or optional wheels.
- Rim size
- Rim diameter × width in inches, and the factory offset (ET) in millimetres, e.g. 18x7.5 ET25.
- Bolt pattern (PCD)
- Number of studs and the diameter of the circle they sit on. It must match exactly.
- Center bore
- Diameter of the hub hole. Larger aftermarket bores need hub-centric rings.
- Pressure
- Recommended cold inflation pressure for that axle, in psi.
- Staggered
- A wider tire on the rear axle than the front. Front-to-back rotation is not possible.
- Thread size
- Lug bolt or nut thread — needed when buying aftermarket fasteners.
Considering a different size?
Run your OE size against the one you want to see diameter change, ground clearance and speedometer error.
