We sell quite a few hubcaps… Everything from factory original hubcaps to universal replacement hubcaps, from center caps to baby moon hubcaps, not to mention chrome wheelskins.
So it’s not surprising that the question the staff hears more than any other is…
“How do I know what size hubcaps I need?”
It is a valid question… It’s easy to assume that everyone will know the answer to this question… Especially if you are in the automotive industry, however not everyone is in the automotive industry. So for all of you who wanted to know how to tell what size hubcaps you need but were afraid to ask… I’ll tell you…
Your hubcap size corresponds to your tire size. When checking tire size it’s not necessary to measure anything. Measuring your existing hubcap or rim will not give you the the true size, and will not give you the correct dimension.
Simply check the tire size as shown on the sidewall of your tire. All tires have a “size series” printed on them that contains the wheel/rim size.
This size series will give you your rim’s dimensions. the two digit number following the R denotes your wheel/rim size.
Please see the diagram below for an example.
As always if you have any questions, or if I can be of any further assistance… Please let me know!
