If you drive a VAG car, then it'll be about 9" wide and painted pink.

If you're a normal human being, then I'd expect it to be around 5" wide.

What car is it, people might be able to suggest what sizes will work??


Cheers,
Grant

wheels often have size stamped if steel or cast into them if alloy
you may find some numbers on the wheelnut area
also , vehicle specifications are listed in a Haynes manual,
