We know that the warning that you do not care when buying tires and wheels of different dimensions than those you currently have with many younger riders will remain ineffective because they only have three things to do:
price
that it can be mounted
to look cool
Wider does not mean better (but means more expensive)
The fact that you buy cheaply some of the used 17's that can cling to the hub of your car does not mean that they are compliant, not only because the power / torque of the engine, as well as the transmission ratios in the gearbox are not foreseen for such a point or that will spin the wings when turning.
First you need to determine which wheels are factory-designed for your car (in each case - perhaps the previous owner has already replaced the dots) and based on them make a choice of alternatives. At the same time, it is necessary to think about tires as well, so that the total point diameter can not be changed too much.
What wheels does my car have?
For this information, see the documentation that came with the car, and if it is not available or you have not received the documentation, you can try it with the local representatives of that brand or Choose the brand, model and version of the car, after which you get a table with the dimensions of tires and tires that are factory-fitted (bolded in "greasy" letters and numbers), as well as optional dimensions ("minor" letters and numbers).
Also, you can find this information from renowned domestic tire, rider and related equipment dealers.
Keep in mind that with one version of the car you can get more tires / wheels combination from the factory. In this case, you can easily change the wheel dimensions without much difficulty as long as you keep the factory-sized dimensions.
If you decide to get out of that box, plan a good plan, and it is necessary for you to get acquainted with all the dimensions of the wheels and their labels. Also, if you are planning to buy wheels from companies dealing exclusively with the sale of wheels, there is usually a similar base on their sites with the available wheels for your car.
Offset - ET45 (What's Offset, Why It's Important And Should It Go)
Offset does not have an adequate translation into our language in the form of a single word. It indicates the distance between the rim axis and the wheel surface (with screw holes) that relies on the hub.
It is labeled ET - from the German word "Einpresstiefe", which can be translated as the depth of penetration / insertion.
So the ET45 means that the hinged hole part is about 45 millimeters away from the axis of the rim, i.e. "Ejected" is 45 mm outwards, so that when mounting the wheels, the wheel is "retracted" under the car. According to the unwritten rule, all the wheels have a positive offset.
Therefore, if you take a new wheel of the same width with too much offset or too wide a wheel with the same offset, a rear-wheel drive contact with suspension or brakes may occur.Distanceri
Some drivers extend the track mark by installing the distance meter, but we'll talk about it in the following text.
New sprockets for new wheels?
Screws can sometimes remain the same, and sometimes they have to change. It is necessary to determine whether the new wheels use a cone or radius screws (or perhaps with a flat padding surface - used by Peugeot and Citroen).
Important - do not combine a wheel with conical holes if it is designed for radius screws and vice versa! It may seem to you that the tightening of the wheels can be firmly fixed, but such improvisation can be very dangerous.

How can ET excite me?
Offset (ET): This measure denotes the distance from the imaginative center line of the rim and the seat on the car to which the felga is placed. The higher the ET the number of the pendulum shifted more to the carousel. A negative ET number is also possible and this means that the spider is thrown out (some jeeps). It is important that this does not disturb the whole vehicle. Drastically different "offsets" can undermine vehicle stability and accelerate the consumption of tires and bearings. It is denoted by the two-digit number eg: ET 3
it is best to measure the peaks outside, divide the pole to get the middle as it is, for example, 10cm to the middle, you go from the side of the pole, measure it to the middle, get 10cm eg, then put the meter inside the rim from the inside, , the gas on the head of the felga, you get for example 13cm, and it turns out that it is 30, or 3 cm
