How to determine the correct hubcap size
It's perplexing,
you loose a
hubcap. You
start surfing
the web for what
seems like an
easy task of
replacing it.
Your sure you
know the right
size because you
measured it, but
this website is
saying your
hubcap is a
different size
One would think the simplest way to determine the size of an item would be to
break out the old tape measure and measure it...right? Well...for most items
this is true but not in the case of hubcaps,
wheel covers or
wheel rims. Measuring of wheels and hubcaps in the automotive world is done differently.
It all corresponds to the tire size of the vehicle. If you look at the side of a
tire on any vehicle, there will be a series of numbers ending in R14, R15, R16,
etc. This final number will tell you what size wheel or hubcap you need.
For example, you
have a 2001
Toyota Corolla
and you need to
replace the
hubcap. You look
on the side of
the tire and
find a number
similar to this
"P175/65/R14".
What this number
tells you is
that you need a
14" hubcap or
wheels. By
physically
measuring the
hubcap, you
would get a
measurement of a
little over 15"
and this is
where the
confusion comes
into play.
Always go be the
size printed on
the tire and you
can't go wrong.
