Each state
has certain legal requirements, when wheels outside the manufacturers
recommended range are fitted to a vehicle.
These requirements
mainly relate to wheel rim widths, the fitting of nuts and studs and the
increase of track measurement.
Modifications
outside the legal guidelines are not permitted and the correct matching
of wheels and tyre is vital to ensure the continued safe operation of
the vehicle. See your JAXQuickfit Tyres wheel specialist for the best
advice on all performance and safety aspects.
Wheel Care
and Maintenance
For lasting
care of your alloy wheels it is recommended you clean them regularly with
soap and water. Check first before using automotive detergents, as they
may corrode the alloy metal. Re-tension your wheel nuts or studs with
a wheel brace on a regular basis.
Insurance
Please make
sure that you check with your insurance company to ensure that your choice
of wheels is compatible with your car.

There
are two ways of measuring offset. Centre line offset is the distance from
the centre line of the wheel to the face of the wheel mounting surface.
Back space offset is the distance from the extreme back edge of the rim
to the wheel mounting surface. Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is the diameter
of the bolt circle.
