Don't Buy Wheels Before Watching This! 

OMG that BMW used its blinkers😱😱😱

“When you buy your first wheels you won’t be experienced with the history of the brands.” Ummmm actually I watched all the Fitment Inc history videos so... I’m basically a pro.

16 years old? Damn im 20 years late

If you're modding your car for Instagram then you're doing it wrong.

I bough Volk te37’s before watching this and I have a bicycle... I’ll make em fit😤💪🏿

U guys always fill up that empty spot in the car community on the internet and thats setting up wheels, rims, tires etc, thanks for the help!

Quality rubbers r a must 😏

7:07 "on Corvettes" the truth hurts. My Vette has fender tuck for days. Can't wait to get a set of wheels to get a nice flush look, nothing too extreme. I just want a clean modern look.

Offset is important and so it Quavo.

Never go cheap on tires. NEVER.

I'm 17 buying my first wheels, and at first I thought it was whatever but now looking into it for a week my brain is dead lmao

I bought my first set of after-market rims in 1991 for my then new 1990 Dodge Shadow. The rims were from American Racing & were about 700 bucks. One hundred dollar (which was a lot then) tires all around for just over 1200 out the door. The next year I got some Yokohama's which is the best tire brand I have ever owned. This industry has come a long, long way in the past 28 years.

how you gunna leave your boys lacking wheel locks are 100% necessary alot of times thieves dont even try if it has a lock lug

I really love and appreciate what you guys are doing with these educational videos and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for being a part of RU-vid and putting out these wonderful videos and I love them so much. Please keep it up and I can't wait for more content from you guys.

This helped so much! I owned a 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen with 15x6 ET 46 wheels wirh 195 65 15 tires and wanted to run a more aggressive 15x6.5 ET 43 set of wheels with the same size tires. Now Slighly stretched. I loved the look. That was nice! After seeing this video and many similar videos, I went all out with a totally aggressive 15x7 ET 40 setup with super wide low profile 205 60 15 tires. They fit without any fender rolling nor inner trim.

You guys drop some serious knowledge. I was never a wheel guy and always focused on basic tuning and bolt ons. You guys have taught me a lot throughout your videos that I’m confident with making my first wheel purchase with you guys for my MK7 GTI. Really digging the Konig flow form line. Seriously, you guys rock!

Thank you so much for this quality video. I'm currently educating myself to wheel knowledge so I can purchase my first set of tires. A video like this is something a noob like me needs

Bad start, Im 22 years old but im POOR

This whole time watching these past month worth of videos, I thought you guys had more subscribers. These videos are professional. Keep going

Thanks to you guys. I got a set of F1R F21'S for my accord sedan and they look and feel great on the car. Thanks fitment crew!

Very informative video! Was hoping I could get some more detail on increased suspension/steering wear on more aggressive offsets. A lot of people don't really know that flush or near flush doesn't mean good fitment either. I appreciate that you recommend going more conservative for your first set but wish to elaborate on the pros and cons.

i saved up for so long to get my TE-37 SL for my Evo9. never going to go with anything else. Great video!

About to check out the Fitment Industries site. Your vids have been thoroughly informative and didn't make me feel like I was watching grass grow. Looking forward..

Very useful information you got going on here 👌🏽 definitely learned a lot and can’t wait to purchase my first set of wheels

Best AD ive ever seen in my life, props

It’s like how some people think offset like a +25 is the same on a 6 inch wide wheel vs a 8 inch wide. You’ll need to calculate it again

I am so glad I found this video! Thank you for that great fitment gallery because it really helps me alot!

Thank you FI sorry I’ve been gone for a few days but I’m back and can’t wait to start grinding the videos again

U earned a customer

I just got my first set of wheels and tires from you guys a couple of weeks ago. I ended up needing to get 8mil spacers and extended thread lug nuts because they hit my front calipers by like 4 millimeters lol getting it wrong the first time does suck...Trust me

Why is this so true...I will more than likely be in touch with you guys as I'm new and yes! I want to get it right first time lmao...keep up the hard word guys!!!

I’ve been emailing you guys and getting a little direction, but honestly, I think at some time In the future, you guys should do an exhaustive series about definitions and meanings and words and diction. Love you Alex!

This channel is underrated!

Holy shit all these numbers stressing me tf out rn since im new to this car stuffiziz😂

Great video. Definitely helpful I’m going to go for some Konig wheels soon with Indy hawk 500 tires

Quality video. Videos like these helped me pick the right offset for my wheels.

Also should mention that while good fitment is great for the aesthetic, it's absolutely crucial for performance. If you take a sports car for example; the manufacturer normally designs every aspect around performance, wheelbase, size, design, orientation of the engine, and even wheel size and offset! If you go get some wheel that just fits and you like the looks, you might be ruining the handling of your vehicle! So if you value keeping your car on the track but want your wheels to look good, talk to the professionals about fitment! You might even be able to improve handling!

why buy high end tires when only the sidewall is in contact with the ground

Another tip. Try to use paper of cardboard to figure out what could fit. It is a bit like guessing, but in our case then at least we knew what was THE maximum we could go with the OEM offset and where we could go with a different offset. From there on we searched and searched more to find THE best fitting wheels and tires. I tried this on my recent first car. And we went from a 145/x/r13(x is not displayed) ET0 (offset 0mm) to a 165/55/r15 ET35, and they look amazing! The wheels and tires were not a massive purchase. Since I am a newbie driver we decided to go with steelies and some nice sticky rubber. Thanks Fitment Inc. !!

Super helpful, thank you guys! ST is gonna be on some sick rims soon!

I found (IMO) decent wheels and tires on the fitment website for around $900 all together 😭 sounds to good to be true

gosh, you guys are stance scientists.

Geee!!😍😍 Those 4 wheels by your head look amazing

Hi Fitment Industries. Love all of your videos! Very helpful and relaxing to unwind to. I had look at your website to look at wheels for my car but my model is not listed. I have a 2000 Nissan Primera P11 and i'm looking at buying my first set of wheels. Cheers

245/45R20 for a 4,100 lbs sporty Honda "Wagon" (AT FWD/4WD). Zero problems with crappy NYC roads. 245/45 = 110 mm side wall, I think 240/40 = 98 mm side wall is about as low profile as you'd want to go in areas with bad roads. I personally wouldn't run that low in NYC or anywhere else in the North East.

Very useful information! and PLEASE get wheels that are the right bolt pattern for your car haha

So appreciative of this video I’m about to buy my first rims and I’m so confused this helps so much

Thank you for this break down much appreciated

Bbs ❤️❤️fitment industries.❤️. Still not ready for wheels but I haven’t forgotten where ima get em from ✌️ my boys

Offset can effect barring wear. Important piece of info that wasn't mentioned 😉✌️

Very great timing of this video because I was just thinking about buying some wheels for the very first time

First set of aftermarket rims and tires i bought were BBS SR in machined alloy with matte black accents with Pirelli Corsa System Direzionales on them. 235/35R19

Don't tell me what to do

Car guys struggle when buying rims Others struggle when buying shoes

I appreciate your videos and that outstanding website. All the info you provided is useful.

I plugged in all the numbers from my stock wheels. BAM it fits. Looks good too.

Another class vid keep it up

I'm still looking for my first set of wheels for my frs since the day I bought it. All my friends runs te37, rpf, renform, and BBS wheels, it's hard to find something different and is a budget wheels that fits in my budget.

Wow this video was so helpful , for so long I’ve been confsued about all these damn numbers and now it’s a little easier

Love you guys/gals ! Thanks so much!

buying used wheels

I did days of research for my wheels and it payed off I got almost flush fitment with maybe a few mm poke in the front

Thanks for the video. Great advice

I went off of somebody elses setup. I was looking at 18x9.5 for a tC but I found this nasty fitment for 17x8.5 and it looks even better. Gotta research this shit.

Risk it for the biscuit 🤔🤔🤔

Luckily, my the wheels I bought fit my car perfectly, even the hub bore was perfect; in hindsight, it makes sense because I bought Nismo wheels for a Nissan, and those wheels were made for my car... You can find those wheels on Fitment industry's YT or simply search on YT "reacting to rare wheels sent by fan": P

this helped me tremendously!! thank you Alex!

Thanks for this video. Very helpful and I've reached out for a quote.

Stuck between getting cheap tires so I can burn them without worrying and buying expensive tires so I can have tire lettering

“Me when I was 16 years old” dang you got me perfectly, I just got my car and wanted to buy some rims to look cool

Danm that was informative. You should have made the vid longer imo. We all need to be reminded every once in a while about what really is important newbie or not. One rule that matters as well is size does matter hehehe. Go for a +1 no more than a +2 when going up in overall diameter on your rim size (17in rim up to a 19in) is always safe. Wish I had you guys around in the early 90's when I was buying my first set of shoes for my ride. You guys were on point as always!! Thks guys

This channel is a god send

You spelled the website wrong on the video 4:37 🙄

Thx for this video, i was honestly about to be that guy who guessed

If you buy bolt pattern adapters and intend to swap with OEM wheels in the winter make sure your studs are short enough...

This is fantastic because it’s helping me shop with THEM

Where do you enter in your make and model to see what fits your car?

I had to set playback speed to 0.75 to keep up. Slow down dude xD

Do you ever breath , lol I cant wait to finally be able to purchase a setup from you guys . You had me at the beggining 😃

This vid is ablut 2 weeks late for me. However i made a good choice on offset, tire size, rim diameter, etc

Your website is still lacking some car brands tho...

Luckly my stock tires are 225/40 18 PS4S, soooo....im good lmao

I had to redrill and hone the center bore of my first set of wheels but I was somewhat prepared for that

You need more views cuz you give a great info very knowledgeable 👍

The issue for me is nobody has 1961 Ford Falcon and their selection

Ling Long tires #1

I'm in a 9th gen accord page and got a relatively good idea of what wheels would fit. I didn't actually have to do that much research. Then again I haven't got my wheels yet either. I only order them yesterday though

Lmao...I just reached out to you guys about my 2 dr Blazer & boom!...you upload this video. I almost feel as if my newbie line of questions prompted this vid. Trying to find wheels is STILL a pain in the a$$. I'm not a big fan of most of the wheels that fit my truck. I guess I'll need some more education to find the exact look I want to achieve. I have a vision of what I want but trying to convey that to the pros is the difficult part. Have you ever seen a Blazer with a V8, possibly custom over fenders & concave, tuner style wheels? I doubt it but you just might. 😉

Offset is more importanter than skoool 😂 haha

Any suggestions of wheel / rim brands for a honda civic? This is my first car aswell as my first time purchasing wheels, im not tryna spend too much money, any brands that wont break the buck?

Super cool video! and funny, too... Thanks for this...

Your videos are great sir

Dam that BMW was filthy! They should be ashamed of themselves 😲

6:14 Okay imma stop you right there, it is pronounced "kuu-nish" or "kuunick" *depending on whether you're in north germany or south germany*

Really great advice Alex. But I cannot agree with the term, aftermarket tires. You are referring to O.E. tires, not aftermarket tires. Good work and I'll keep watching your videos until I have decided to switch wheels on the E91.

Im lucky to have guessed on ALL my wheels and they have all fit on all my cars ive owned. Lol. But yes. It really must be a sucky feeling when things dont go as planned. Ive had friends that has had that happened to them and I felt bad.

Aaaaaaanndd I still can't find unique lightweight wheels for a miata... Guess the answer isn' always miata

Cheap tires cause we gonna drift anyways

Great video!!! You guys cover everything damn!!
