Have you ever wonder how big is big in the wheels game. It all depends on the type of vehicle or its purpose, although some times it all depends on the look you want to have.

Keep in mind I am only talking about OEM wheels because there is a whole new world if we were talking about wheel customization.

The bigger the wheel size the lower the tire profile is going to be. Back in the day, a wheel size 13”-14” was the norm. Sports cars used to have 15”-16”. Nowadays even SUVs have 21” – 22″ as standard.

No doubt that new technology has helped with the change in size, sometimes history helps us appreciate more the present.

What is going to be next? Could it be uncommon sizes or a new concept that merges wheels and tires in one?
