Wanted to create this video to go over the process that I use when choosing the right set of aftermarket wheel/tire setup for your car as a basic level 1 wheel/tire enthusiast. Hope this helps out anyone, that is having trouble finding the right wheel!
Head to @FitmentIndustries to learn more about width, offsets, and tire sizes! They will have everything you need!
Wheel/Tire Size Calculator:

Overview:
Step 1: Why?
What is the purpose of the wheels?
Daily?
If "daily", keep in mind the wheels be exposed to weather elements depending on your area.
Recommended for Daily:
Wheel Cost: (nothing more than $200 per wheel for replacement)
Wheel Finish: Anything painted/powdercoated/gloss/matte (Easy to maintain)
Wheel Size: Depending on your vehicle, i recommend max of 18" (More tire options that provide good sidewall for protection/ride comfort)
Tires: You are definitely wanting to get all season tires more than likely if you typically experience snow during winter.
Recommended for Weekend Car:
Wheel cost: Sky is the limit here
Wheel Finish: Anything you want (Chrome/specialty material/etc)
Wheel Size: Anything you want depending on the look/function you want.
Tires: If you only drive on the weekends, and dont take out the car in the rain, then you really just need a really good summer tire.
Step 2 Budget.
What is your budget range? And how much are you willing to spend? My budget was $1400-$1500
I got the wheels for $810 shipped from ebay
Step 3. Research Size/Width/Offset/Tire Size.
Do your research on what size you want. Learn about offset, and how it affects the fitment. Visit
Step 4: Style. What is the overall theme and look you want for the car?
Remember at the end of the day it’s your car, and as long as you love it, no one else’s opinion matters. Think of a stock car as your blank canvas. You have the paint brush. You paint whatever is in your mind onto that canvas. That is your art, and your creation. Be proud of it. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Found your channel yesterday and jusr binge watched all your corolla videos. Love em
Dude, that is awesome! Im glad you enjoyed them! Hopefully will have more to come :) Tein lowering springs coming in today. Stay tuned! Once again, appreciate the love! Hope you are doing well!
Great Post Bo! They look good!
THANK YOU SIR!! :)
Great vibes bro, the setup looks great, and it's dope to see another hatch in MD!
Thanks man! I really want to try and host a hatch meet, because I feel the md/dc area has large hatch community, just gotta bring them together lol. Thanks again for checking in and the props!
@@FujiboHeavy No problem my guy. And you could count me in on a dmv hatch meet! Anyways, looking forward to see how your whip looks after you drop it :)
Thanks for the vid man. I’m in the process of looking for wheels for my ‘19 hatch and this helped.
Awesome man! Also feel free to shoot me any questions or opinion on wheels too! Can’t wait to see what you choose!
@@FujiboHeavy Thanks I’ll definitely let you know. Do you have any mods that you plan to put on your hatch like an intake or exhaust?
@@thomastrinh1015 I do have the kn intake currently on the car! May do exhaust later on still undecided lol
Getting my rolla hatch in February. Thanks for the awesome tips with wheels! Looking forward to more rolla hatch content. Much love from Hawai'i
Thats awesome to hear!! You're gonna love it! I appreciate the love :)
@@FujiboHeavy Hi, So I got my car.. and the specs you have are exactly the same that the stock wheels were??
@@kurintosan yea close except the offset on the Enkei Vulcan’s were +45, and the XSE Enkei wheel is +40 offset. But both wheels are 18x8 )
@@kurintosan also congrats on your whip!!!!
@@FujiboHeavy oh nvm you already said it in video and in comments xD
Glad I found you.. about to get wrapped then get some wheels!!
I have a 2022 XE , they’re def like 15” surely not the same as XSE. With +40 I’m sure.
At first I wanted 18” x9.5 But now I’m thinking of 18”x9 +40 because of this video.
I’m going for pink heart shaped heritagewheels, to match my amethyst color changing wrap 😍😍
awesome and congrats!!! 👍🏼 👍🏼 do you have IG? I will follow your build
@@FujiboHeavy I’m unsure it isn’t letting me reply
@@FujiboHeavy AYZHLA , and on this CZcams channel
Thinking of dropping machined Vulcans on my silver civic si sedan. Your vids are really helpful. #nodoubt
I appreciate it man! Yea if the machined finish was the full face on the Vulcan, it wouldve been a no brainer man, and I wouldve went the full machine face. I didnt think it would make much of a difference until I previewed them on the car through tirerack and seeing them on other peoples cars :)
Love it
Looks clean
Thank you!
I have the same mentality about picking wheels as you. Everyone has TE37’s and RPF1’s I also like being different
Nice!!! 🤟🏼 yea it just doesn’t feel as unique. Plus they are so expensive, even though you can get replicas for cheaper 🙂
@@FujiboHeavy I totally agree
what your specs on your wheels/tyres?
love the videos!
Thanks man! The wheels are 18x8 +45 w/ 225/40/18 tires :)
Hey Fujibo, would you mind sharing the website shown @ 3:43?
Tirerack.com 😊
This is a really great video I have a 2017 Toyota Corolla It’s automatic I just want to add rims that’s it even if they’re common I don’t mind long as they aren’t Help uh bruh thuh out?
Thanks man! Yea dude go on tire rack and see what you think looks best on your car, then just send it!
Love your vids bro! I just got my 2021 hatch and it came with factory 16's and ive heard if i switch to 17's the ride will be better and also somebody recommended to wrap it with 225/45R17 whats your opinion about this set up? Thanks in advance bro
Appreciate it and congrats on your Rolla Hatch! Such great looking cars 👍🏼 Yea the ride quality itself will improve depending on the specifc tire you go with (compound/size etc), next is how much sidewall for ex 45 for 17 is standard. If you stick with 16 wheel, the 50 sidewall is standard. So the more sidewall you have, the more rubber you have to absorb shock/bump. 225/45/17 is good setup as long as the wheel width is 17x7 or 17x8, but I would recommend contacting site Fitment Industries to make sure youre choosing the correct tire size paired with your wheel size. Hope this helped!
@@FujiboHeavy thanks brother! That's a huge help now I just need to convince the wife haha 🍻
@@jcruz0627 good luck!
@@FujiboHeavy one last question and I apologize in advance cuz you've probably heard this question before but what is the best wheel size and tire set up on a stock suspension for a daily driver. Some say go 18's but I was wondering if I should stick with 17''s
@@jcruz0627 that comes down to personal preference, so for me I try to stick as close oem wheel specs so it doesnt throw off the speedometer too much. So as long as the total wheel diameter is the same as oem, speedometer should remain the same
Hello, I know you recommended 18” however I really like the design of some Scion xB 19” rims. What’s your take on those?
My only concern is really ride quality and making sure you have enough rubber to still maintain ride comfort/handling. Honestly if you really like them, you should try them out. But just make sure to consider (are you daily driving the car? Do you have lots of potholes in your area? Etc) Have you checked on tirerack.com to see how 19’s would look with the proper tire size, then also checking the tire size calculator to make sure the wheel/tire you plan to get will fit okay. At the end of the day definitely get what you want, if it doesn’t work out, learn from it, and move on :)
@@FujiboHeavy I do prefer the ride quality over appearance I must admit so maybe I need to redirect my plans. I just like the way factory wheels look or the idea! I have a 21 SE so the 16” are designed for comfort of course.
@@josephmengele7804 yea man. Basically the more rubber/sidewall you have the smoother the ride, plus fuel economy because the 16” are lighter and take less effort to rotate :)
Hey do u know what size of lug nuts should I buy if I get custom wheels like the enkei t6s 18x8 45? Thank you in advance
The lug nut size is m12 x 1.5. So you would need tuner lug nuts in that size. Just be cautious, there are several different styles and lengths. I would recommend to get just standard tuner lug nuts
Thank you! 🙏🏼
@@Jay-xh7xq no problem mang!
Hey mate,have 2021 corolla hatch,if I go 38 offset or 40 offset will be good?
Yup, I mean those numbers are basically mm from the center hub to the outside face/edge wheel. But also the width plays a big role too. I do highly recommend using this wheel/calculator and it will really get you dialed in and confirm clearance. www.wheel-size.com/calc/
@@FujiboHeavy my car is 1 month old,I just change wheel from 16 to 18 inch.do I have to do wheel allignment mate?
@@weejaay2632 if you’re only upsizing wheels and tires no need for alignment :)
BUT, if you take apart your suspension, you would need alignment
How long did they take to come in I just ordered a set of Tsr-6's
Also wrapped in nitto neo gens
Depends mainly on your location and where they ship from! I got mine off eBay and I live in MD. So it took about a week to get to me
Did you have to get new tpms sensors? Because I just got wheels for my Corolla and was just wondering and I love the car btw
Nope! The tire shop was able to remove the oem tpms sensors from my oem 16” wheels to the new 18” wheels :) been working fine, and no lights, (unless low air of course) . Thank you!
@@FujiboHeavy thank you so much!!! And what about your exhaust do you know the diameter of the stock exhaust because it too much money to buy a full exhaust and I was thinking about chopping the stock muffler and getting my dad to weld a different muffler on
@@alexpham355 Yezzur the oem piping size is 1.75” I believe. Not 100% sure. But yea depending on his skill level, he should be able to easily weld on a universal muffler for you
@@FujiboHeavy thanks again man surprised you even replied to my comment lol but if I have any other questions I’ll be sure to ask you
@@alexpham355 haha, I try to help when I can :) best of luck! Make sure to send me clip if you get it installed!
Do these wheels fit the stock tires?
As long as the tire size is 225/40/18 (which is what i have on there now) they should work! I would take a look at your tire size and let me know!
What happened to the rav??
Traded her in for the Corolla Hatch :)
How dose it ride
My personal setup with Nitto Neo Gen and 18" Enkeis rode fine. The oem 16" wheels/tires rode much better because they had more rubber/sidewall
@@FujiboHeavy so I should go with oem what is the dimensions for the OEM?
@@petermuniz9296 it def depends on whats important to you and the cars purpose. What is your priority? 1) Ride comfort/economy? (16" wheel. most rubber best ride comfort) Or 2) Style? (18" wheel with the least rubber.) looks the best, but you sacrifice ride comfort/economy. or 3) Mix of both Ride/comfort and styling. (still have decent rubber and looks sightly better than 16" wheel). As for oem size I use this website to look up factory wheel specs: www.wheel-size.com
@@FujiboHeavy the thing is i don't know offer and bolt patter or bore center crap
@@petermuniz9296 the website link I sent in my last comment will show that info, but you need to enter your specific car model. If you 100% want to be sure, you can remove your wheel and look behind it. The exact wheel specs are embedded in the the wheel . For ex: 16x6 diameter x width. Then offset (e55 or +55) It should also show the center bore embedded. It will be for ex it would be a number like: "52.6"
1 inch? Bru
