I know there are a few sites like this... but I want to know of some sites where it lets you preview certain rims on your car. I don't care if it's a cartoon or even done so bad. I just want to get an idea.

And about how much would it cost to get rims put onto tires? I'm clueless about this stuff, so just wondering.

 

not very much for the install of rim + tire, my uncle charged like 5 bucks per tire plus supplies (valve, weights for balancing)

edit: oh and i think tirerack has that feature you mentioned. either that or discount tire did....

Do either of you know if I'm supposed to get a certain size? 16, 17, 18? I don't know what I'm doing, haha.

 

It all depends on what your preference is, if you live somewhere where there are alot of potholes and such then you don't want to go too big then you don't have much tire to protect your investment. If your car is lowered then there could be issues of rubbing with 18" rims, with 17" rims you should be perfectly fine and there should be no rubbing at all. Alot of people go with 17's cause they don't want the hassle of rubbing and having to do more work to get them to fit while the car is lowered. If it snot lowered then you should be ok with 18's. I personally wouldnt go with 18's I like the look of 17's when the car is lowered, it looks like a bigger rim than it really is.

If you go with 18's then you should expect to spend a little more cash on them than 17's, I know its only an inch bigger but it makes a difference in tire size. The bigger you go than the smaller the tire is going to be which means less meat to protect your investment.

The only thing you have to make sure before you get rims is the bolt pattern, its 4x114.3, that means its a 4 lug patternt and the 114.3 is the spacing between them, also try and get a rim with a width of 7" to 7.5" anything bigger will stick far out past the fender and will not look right at all. Those are the only things you have to be worried about.

 

Awesome. Thanks so much. My car isn't lowered, so I think I won't have a problem. I wanted to get these certain rims that were 17x7. I'll check out the bolt pattern, like you said. Thanks again!
