The diameter and width of the rims installed on this specific vehicle model and year directly affect its handling, aesthetics, and tire compatibility. These dimensions are critical specifications for owners seeking replacement wheels or tires. The factory specification ensures optimal performance characteristics.
Adhering to the manufacturer’s recommended measurements ensures proper speedometer calibration, prevents rubbing against the suspension or body, and maintains the vehicle’s intended ride quality. Deviation from these specifications can lead to compromised safety and performance. Historically, manufacturers carefully selected these dimensions to balance cost, performance, and aesthetic appeal.
