A rim of any vehicle is the outer edge of a wheel that holds the tyre firmly in place so that the tyre rotates in conjunction with the wheels. Rims can have different designs, widths, and materials to optimise your ATV’s riding experience.

If you are thinking about purchasing new rims for your ATV, Quad, or Dirt Bike Tyres, you are likely to spend most of your time thinking about whether the rims will look good with your wheels or not. You probably want rims that will give your vehicle a fresh look and make heads turn.

However, the look is not the only aspect you should be focusing on when choosing rims, there is more you need to pay attention to. If you need help choosing the perfect rims to complement your ATV, you have landed in the right place. To select suitable rims for your ATV, Quad, or Dirt Bike Tyres, you need to know the answers to a few questions.

How Do You Know What Rims Fit Your Vehicle?

To know which rim fit your ATV, you need to know the range of tyre and wheel sizes that fits your vehicle. Most vehicles can support a range of sizes, but if you accurately identify the diameter of the wheel and the width of the rim, you will be able to choose rims that will perfectly fit your ATV.

The wheel diameter is the width of the wheel across the center, and it is generally measured in inches. While the rim width is the width of the wheel from right to left, you can find the measurement in the wheel itself along with other information, which can be valuable to use when choosing the right rims.

What Sizes Rims Fit Your ATV?

There are multiple sizes and types of rims, and determining which size rims you need depends on the purpose of your purchase. If you are changing rims because they are damaged, then you may want to use the same size your ATV currently has.

If you are replacing rims to improve your vehicle’s acceleration and cornering, you will probably need wheels that have a slightly larger diameter than that of your current wheels. However, choosing larger wheels means that your tyres will wear out more frequently. On the other hand, smaller wheels make your ride comfortable and smoother but will decrease your vehicles handling.

Altering the size of the rims can change how your vehicle rides and the material of the rims can also affect the performance of your ATV.

Other Aspects to Consider when Buying ATV Rims

Size is just one factor to consider when choosing rims. Many different aspects contribute to rims being right for your ATV. Some of the other factors are wheel plus sizing, wheel offset, backspacing, and bolt patterns.

With so many factors to consider, choosing the right rims for your ATV can be overwhelming. Allow an ATV rims and wheels expert to help you find the perfect set of rims to fit your vehicle.
