Verification and practical notes
To confirm the exact size for your specific car, check the decal on the driver's door jamb (tire and loading placard) and consult the owner's manual or your VIN-specific build sheet. If you’ve upgraded wheels, ensure the new size maintains correct speedometer readings and ABS/traction control performance.

Always verify with the door placard and official documentation, especially if you’re shopping used or swapping wheels.
