thread_title:  Disclaimer 

message: The section titled "Wheel Size" should be moved to the Tire Size entry. It almost no information concerning wheel size. A link to the Tire Size entry should be placed at the bottom of the page.
Also I would recommend splitting the Lug information into another entry. The Lug entry should also have information about Lug Bolts, Studs, and possibly diagrams of everything.
I'll do this all myself when/if I get the time to figure out the Wikipedia scripting language.
Regarding Wheel size wheels are referred to as 7J or 6.5J where the numbers denote the wheel depth in inches so when fitting a wider tyre it might be advisable to also fit a wider wheel to maintain straight tyre side walls. what does the J stand for and are there any other letters in use?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.234.100.17 (talk) 08:32, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move Tire Size Information 

message: No mention is made of the required load of the vehicle and the maximum tested load of the wheel. Some consideration should be taken in respect of TUV and also ETRTO guidelines when recommending aftermarket fitments.

message: Here's a formula for finding the radius of a 5-bolt pattern: wouldn't this be easier than trying to draw perpendicular lines? x is the distance between any two adjacent bolts...
r = \frac {x} {2 \sin 36^{\circ}} \Rightarrow r \approx \frac {x} {1.176}

message: Hey guys... much duplicate information about tires is starting to make its way about wheels... and this also seems to be quite focused on automobiles...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.170.14.44 (talk) 08:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirect tire size to article [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code Tire Code] 

message: The centerbore section could use some clarification and cleanup, specifically regarding "hub centric". The implication seems to be that the center bore and hub centric rings carry the load of the vehicle. I know this is certainly the perception on internet message boards. However, this is false. The center bore is only used for ease of installation in most cases. The only reference for this section is a company that sells hub centric rings...of course they're going to make wild claims to get you to buy their rings! Here are some better references:

message: The text states "The size of the disc however is denoted like 8.5" X 20.0"."  What disc? - KitchM (talk) 19:59, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably the brake caliper disc, but there is no reason it also could be stated in metric. Sauer202 (talk) 00:01, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

message: "The other setup option of staggered wheel fitment is having larger diameter wheels in the rear. For example, a vehicle may feature 19 inch wheels in front and 18 inches in the rear."  Isn't that backwards? - KitchM (talk) 20:03, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Staggered 

message: This is a good baseline for wheel sizing and fitment but it needs a lot of cleaning up. Myself and others found it difficult to read and understand. I'd like to go through the whole thing and change up the wording to make it easier to read so a novice is able to understand the topic. I also believe that some more pictures would go a long way in helping this process. A drawing that shows exactly what's happening might be better suited to show than a picture of someone holding a tape measure next to a wheel, for instance. I think that making these changes and adding in some more information will take this article from something juvenile to a reliable source of information for people researching wheels.
