Default A quick question for the wheel fitment experts here...

Do all wheel regardless of brand, fit exactly the same if wheel size,width, offset and disk type are identical ?

For instance, lets say I find pictures here on the forum of a members car and I really love the fitment/stance of the wheels on the car. If I buy a different brand of wheels but order them with the exact same specifications ie same exact tires, diameter,width,offset, disk type, etc. will they most likely fit the same?

(I know disk type may differdueto spoke design but that really doesn't matter since I planto keep my stock rotors).

I'd assume they fit the same.

I own and operate a custom wheel shop, and if the specs are the same such as offset and width, rim size. the fitment on the car should be the same. you should get the look you are going for! any more ?'s hit me up!!!! im running a 20" x 8.5 on mine with stock hight. what are the specs of the wheels you are tryin to fit?

Offset is offset, provided the widths you are comparing are the same.

For example, 20x8.5 +38 and 20x9.0 +38 will fit and look different.

The tricky part is the "disk"; some spokes are bowed, some are flat.
If you have a big brake kit, the brakes might fit behind the wheel
with the 'bowed' spokes, but not the one with the flat spokes.

The wheel manufacturer, or sharp retailer (like D2 Autosports) should be able
to steer you down the right path.
