The appropriate dimensions for the vehicle’s wheels are a crucial factor for safe and efficient operation. These dimensions dictate the outer diameter and width of the rubber that interfaces with the road. For the specified model year and make, understanding these figures is vital for replacement or upgrade purposes.
Correct wheel fitment directly impacts handling, braking performance, fuel economy, and speedometer accuracy. Using the wrong size can compromise safety and potentially damage vehicle components. Historically, manufacturers have specified a standard size to optimize performance within design parameters, though variations might exist across different trims or optional packages.
