OMG that BMW used its blinkers😱😱😱
👀👀
WOKE
Ikr, it was such a majestic rare sight
It was for the camera 😂😂😂
lol
16 years old? Damn im 20 years late
I didn't expect to get insulted immediately lol
Lol me too
28 years late. I talked to the guys at the tire shop since they mentioned wheels in the first place (I wasn't thinking about that). Everything fit the 1st time, no issues, no BS, no destroying the car to make wheels fit.
what if your 34 but have the mindset of a 16 year old?...
And I'm 1 year early lol
“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.
That's what we're here for!
If you're modding your car for Instagram then you're doing it wrong.
Alex Cheetah finally, someone on CZcams who properly uses “you’re” lmao
Yeaaahh that car he showed when talking about stance nation was hideous. I like how it's a video essentially about how tires are what matter most when doing this process, but also shows lots of vehicles with camber some of which were absolute trashy looking with the wheels bent or so far you'll blow through those tires in no time.
Love the web sight unfortunately you guys didn’t have the rims I was wanting
Ryan O'Brien I’ve been using your and you’re correctly, but no one ever said, “Finally, someone who knows how to use it!”
@@cooliecrewspeedshop *Youŕè
I bough Volk te37’s before watching this and I have a bicycle... I’ll make em fit😤💪🏿
dead lmao
te37 is legit. they even fit my toilet.
I always say, buy wheels and make the transportation fit them hahaha
They look good on everything I got them on my lawnmower .... it's a subi
Haha im with you i got lexani LX10 20 inches 275/45R20 et15 gotta get spacers for the front then mesure and figure out what i need to even the back
Offset is important and so it Quavo.
HANNNNNNCHOOOOOOOOO 🔥
@@FitmentIndustries huncho*
Offset was taken under cardi b’s wing he gone
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 😏
Ghetto Gecko are you selling me tires or condoms?
Depends on what you like riding on.
W.
Most def
Yea i bought one from the 7 11 bathroom thats how my girl got pregnant. Buy quality rubbers please
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.
Sometimes that will happen! 😂 Whenever you need help with fitment or ordering a set of wheels hit us up for real!! We would love to help you get setup with something! 🔌😂
When you scroll too far and do a double take 👀
Never go cheap on tires.
NEVER.
Except for drifting...
you speak the big true true
Unless your that one guy just doing smoky burnouts in his hellcat.
Unless you just driving stop and go in city
Daniil Kaizer got a car, Previous owner went cheap on tires, I Tokyo drift if I even hit 5 mph
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
Me too bro, me too
@@jonathanchapman3199 same here
Yup
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
Definitely
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 CZcams 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.

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.
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.
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
U earned a customer
🖤🖤Thanks for the support!
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!
Appreciate it Matt! That's what we are here for! If you have any questions shoot us an email shop@fitmentindustries.com
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..
i saved up for so long to get my TE-37 SL for my Evo9. never going to go with anything else. Great video!
Bad start, Im 22 years old but im POOR
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.
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!
This whole time watching these past month worth of videos, I thought you guys had more subscribers. These videos are professional. Keep going
Best AD ive ever seen in my life, props
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
I am so glad I found this video! Thank you for that great fitment gallery because it really helps me alot!
Very useful information you got going on here 👌🏽 definitely learned a lot and can’t wait to purchase my first set of wheels
Holy shit all these numbers stressing me tf out rn since im new to this car stuffiziz😂
If you ever need more help on your fitment don't hesitate to shoot the team here an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you more!
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
Truth!
OFFSET is the same regardless of wheel width..... how much poke you get is different. Your comment is almost as terrible as this video
As you can tell, I’m saying that. Didn’t mean to tickle your ass with a comment that’s saying as much as what you’re saying.
Plus the offset number is the same because it measures from the center of the wheel either in or out. So what needs to be taken into account is your wheel width
Great video. Definitely helpful I’m going to go for some Konig wheels soon with Indy hawk 500 tires
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!
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
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 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!!!
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. !!
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.
This channel is underrated!
Thank you for this break down much appreciated
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
gosh, you guys are stance scientists.
SCIENCE

@@ZyNgInaMo Stanceologist
I found (IMO) decent wheels and tires on the fitment website for around $900 all together 😭 sounds to good to be true
Geee!!😍😍 Those 4 wheels by your head look amazing
Super helpful, thank you guys! ST is gonna be on some sick rims soon!
why buy high end tires when only the sidewall is in contact with the ground
soundlesspeal most people want grip and don't run stupid amounts of camber.
Simon G =most people are boring
soundlesspeal getting the power to the ground > playing in the parking lot
Simon G why would you buy expensive tires just to waste it on skids
soundlesspeal expensive? We have different ideas of that. My tires will always run me around $1500 for a set of 4
Don't tell me what to do
🙃🙃
Edgy
LOL
don’t be told what to do
I plugged in all the numbers from my stock wheels. BAM it fits. Looks good too.
Thanks for the video. Great advice
Very useful information! and PLEASE get wheels that are the right bolt pattern for your car haha
That's definitely important. Haha
Car guys struggle when buying rims
Others struggle when buying shoes
What if u like cars and shoes?
@@lukesmith115 then you have figure out which is more important n comes first! That being said the car first! Lol shoes arent as important
Let’s keep it real, mos car guys really can’t dress
@@sopretty43vr im sorry wat
And you really struggle when trying to find wheels for a Montana minivan
Quality video. Videos like these helped me pick the right offset for my wheels.
Thanks for the love! 🖤
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
Hey Ethan, Thank you for the support! Glad to hear you find our videos enjoyable, I was looking and I cannot find wheels either HOWEVER! We can still look for you, Just shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you from there!
Offset can effect barring wear. Important piece of info that wasn't mentioned 😉✌️
Brody I blew my bearings lol on stock wheels with cheap spacers, don’t buy spacers lol
Bbs ❤️❤️fitment industries.❤️. Still not ready for wheels but I haven’t forgotten where ima get em from ✌️ my boys
🙌🏻
Very great timing of this video because I was just thinking about buying some wheels for the very first time
Thanks for this video. Very helpful and I've reached out for a quote.
Another class vid keep it up
Thank you! :D
Fitment Industries gotta show the support
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.
Kong Lor check out jnc they have every style and color you could ask for. Plus they have some of the cheapest prices you'll find. My rims were 400 shipped
Don’t worry about what your friends run man. Get something you like. You don’t have to buy billet just to fit in I promise. Cheaper wheels get hate, but also respect from others in the same boat that don’t want to drop all the funds on forged.
I have had everything from CCW/Work/Rays/AMERICAN Force/Enkei all the way to konig, rota, str, ruff racing. All about what you wanna do. Some high quality wheels are ugly. Some lower priced wheels look sick.
The FRS is a great platform to make nice. And don’t take much effort.
We have tons of videos that can help you with that Kong. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/hvTIdWT-XWE/video.html&t
Also, just email us and we can help you out at Wheels@fitmentindustries.com
Love you guys/gals ! Thanks so much!
I appreciate your videos and that outstanding website. All the info you provided is useful.
Glad to help!🙏🏼
Risk it for the biscuit 🤔🤔🤔
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
Ben W why I said they fit perfect
they don't really poke noticeably but when you look to the side of the car you can see the wheel coming out a little bit but really only a few millimeters. normally in my country it's illegal to have your wheels poking but at the yearly vehicle inspection they didn't even notice it.
So appreciative of this video I’m about to buy my first rims and I’m so confused this helps so much
This channel is a god send
I had to set playback speed to 0.75 to keep up. Slow down dude xD
He was talking that fast!? Lol
@@FitmentIndustries
English/American is not my native language, and that made it a little hard to follow as I couldn't keep up whit all the info.
Apart from that I love this videos
Stuck between getting cheap tires so I can burn them without worrying and buying expensive tires so I can have tire lettering
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
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.
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
Thank you for doing that! :D
You spelled the website wrong on the video 4:37 🙄
this helped me tremendously!! thank you Alex!
No problem homie!
Super cool video! and funny, too... Thanks for this...
Your website is still lacking some car brands tho...
we are working on it!
Impala are a huge market js
Offset is more importanter than skoool 😂 haha
Great video!!! You guys cover everything damn!!
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 😃
Where do you enter in your make and model to see what fits your car?
Right here! - www.fitmentindustries.com/wheels-tires
“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
If you buy bolt pattern adapters and intend to swap with OEM wheels in the winter make sure your studs are short enough...
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.
Luckly my stock tires are 225/40 18 PS4S, soooo....im good lmao
The issue for me is nobody has 1961 Ford Falcon and their selection
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
Your videos are great sir
Thx for this video, i was honestly about to be that guy who guessed
Dam that BMW was filthy! They should be ashamed of themselves 😲
Yessir! Throwing a sub ya'll way! Loved the Video! I'm looking to clean up my '15 Sonata! So lets start this shit!
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
Thanks for the support homie!
Ling Long tires #1
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*
I always thought thin rims (not talking tire profile) a more wire frame because there is less weight to turn. I also thought thicker tires at the front were better for the front tires and bigger at the back for rear wheels but I don't understand what is better.
How do I determine how much weight the wheels hold? I have a crown vic and it's still the family car so I need wheels that can hold at least another 300-600lbs with people in the back.
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?
There are TONS out there brother! What I would recommend is going on out gallery and find what other people have on there Civic's to see what you think looks best! 👍bit.ly/2Ma4oca
Aaaaaaanndd I still can't find unique lightweight wheels for a miata... Guess the answer isn' always miata
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. 😉
235/40R17 on Front
235/55R17 on Rear
Pull rear fender a bit and fit pretty good
I’m literally 16 lmao
buying used wheels
This is fantastic because it’s helping me shop with THEM
