How to Check Wheel & Tire Fitment

Making sure your wheels and tires fit your truck is crucial for safety and performance. Here’s how to double-check fitment before you buy or install.

What You’ll Need

• Your truck’s year, make, and model
• Current wheel and tire specs (size, offset, bolt pattern, etc.)
• Measuring tape or caliper
• Access to manufacturer fitment charts or your owner’s manual

Step-by-Step Fitment Check

1. Confirm Bolt Pattern: Count the number of lug holes and measure the diameter. Match this to your new wheels.
2. Check Wheel Size: Look for diameter (e.g., 17”), width (e.g., 9”), and offset/backspacing (printed on the wheel or in your manual).
3. Measure Tire Size: Check the sidewall for size (e.g., 275/65R18) and compare with your intended upgrade.
4. Test for Clearance: Ensure there’s enough space for the new setup—turn the wheels side-to-side and check for rubbing on suspension, fenders, or brake components.
5. Consult Fitment Guides: Use online fitment calculators or check with your vendor for compatibility with your truck’s year, make, and model.
6. Ask for Help: When in doubt, message the seller or email us for personalized fitment advice.

Quick Tips

• Never guess—always verify fitment before buying or installing.
• Consider how suspension mods (like lift kits) may affect fitment.
• If you want a more aggressive stance, check local laws about tire poke and fender coverage.
