How do I know what fitment fits my wheels?
Put simply, to find if your wheels will fit your car, measure the distance from your wheel’s center point to where it is mounted. This is the offset. Add that to half your wheel’s width to find the back space and subtract it to find the front space. Compare this to your wheel well to see if it fits.

Do thinner wheels go faster?
The answer is simple: Narrow tires feel faster. They simulate the sensation of higher speed – without actually going faster. That is what narrow tires do. They are inflated to a higher pressure, so they transmit more small road irregularities.
