Test Fitting Wheels Over Your Brakes
What Do I Need To Know About Test Fitting Wheels Around My Brakes?
When choosing a wheel for your vehicle there are things that you should research before your purchase.
1. Is this wheel the right offset for my vehicle?
2. Is this wheel the right diameter and width to fit without issues?
3. Does this wheel clear my brakes?
Finding the information to questions 1 and 2 are usually fairly easy to find. However, finding the answer to #3 can be tougher. This is due to the number of variables that can change the answer. Every wheel design, size and sometimes offset can change the spoke profile of a wheel. Furthermore, there are many different vehicles on the market. Complicating this more is the possibility of multiple different brake packages offered on just one model vehicle. Those brake packages all have different sizing and shape to them.
And what are you supposed to do if you have installed or are considering installing a Big Brake Kit? How can you go about test fitting wheels around that big brake kit? The installation of your BBK can make finding a wheel that will fit a headache. Of course, you can download the wheel clearance diagram from your big brake kit manufacturer, print it to scale and cut it out. But that is providing you actually have the wheel you want to put on the car in your possession. If you don’t have the wheel or are looking for wheel options that clear that brake kit it is tougher. We’re going to give you some information to help you find a Konig wheel that will fit over your vehicle’s brakes.
With wheels, we tend to focus on 2 factors of a brake package. The caliper protrusion and the caliper height. These two factors are the most critical in determining if a brake caliper will impact / crash with the spokes of the wheel.
We have a library of vehicle caliper drawings. We do our best to update that library often especially with the hard to fit, big brake vehicles. With this library, we can use 2D wheel drawings to overlay caliper profiles in a wheel and confirm if a wheel is able to fit your car / brake package. So here are some instructions if you need our help!
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU CHECK YOUR BRAKES WITH A KONIG WHEEL…
Checking a stock brake package (brake package available on vehicle as original equipment):
1. You may call, email, use our contact form, or message us on social media.
2. Please include vehicle make, model, model year, trim package and brake package option (if applicable).
3. Please include which wheel, size(s) you would like to check.
Checking a big brake kit / upgrade (Aftermarket Big Brake Kit / Upgrade not offered as original equipment):
1. You may call, email, use our contact form, or message us on social media.
2. Please include vehicle make, model, model year, trim package and brake package option (if applicable).
3. Please include which wheel, size(s) you would like to check.
4. Please contact the brake kit manufacturer and ask them for a PDF brake caliper template file (Here is an example of one of these files from Wilwood – EXAMPLE for 370Z Front). You may send this file to fitment@konigwheels.com with the information mentioned above.
While we’re happy to help you make sure that Konig wheels will fit your vehicle’s brake package, there are somethings you should keep in mind:
1. It can take time – We do our best to check fit cars that we have calipers drawings on quickly. However, some calipers may have to be drawn (especially aftermarket kits) so this can take a few days depending on how many requests have been previously sent in.
2. We don’t have every caliper – We hold a large caliper library however occasionally we will not have your vehicle’s brake. In this case, we’ll guide you through how you can help us to obtain information to give you a better idea of fitment.
3. Current wheels only – Due to a large number of requests for caliper checks we receive we ask you to only ask us to check current wheels.
4. ALWAYS TEST FIT BEFORE MOUNTING – We confirm fitment as a courtesy. Even if we confirm fitment, like with any wheel purchase, you must always test fit wheels to ensure that they fit correctly, without issues before mounting. Once wheels are mounted they’re non-returnable and there is little that your retailer (depending on their return policy) can do to help you. Because we’re a manufacturer, we don’t deal directly with the public regarding sales. For this reason, you must deal with your retailer for sales/returns (based on retailers policies). We aren’t able to get involved in this process. So ALWAYS TEST FIT BEFORE MOUNTING!
We hope this information helps and thank you for your continued support!
Installation Hardware and Accessories
Installation hardware and accessories
Wheel installation hardware, accessories and installation kits are not something that come with wheels. Those items should be ordered with / or supplied by your installer or retailer. There are so many different vehicles with many different factors. Things like different stud length, stud size, thread pitch, hub size, etc.
That is why those items can only be supplied at the point you’re able to inform your installer or retailer what vehicle you have. With this said, here are some basic things to keep in mind during your installation planning process.
1. All of our wheels are conical seat. Its very important to ensure whatever lug nut / lug bolt you’re using is conical “cone” seat. Improper selection of installation hardware could result in a wheel coming lose from the vehicle and causing damage, injury or worse.
2. While there are many different types of lug nuts / lug bolts, when available, we highly recommend using a tuner diameter, spline drive, conical seat lug nut / bolt. Especially if the wheel is tuner drilled or is going to be used primarily for a street application. These offer a small step of security (because they require a key) and they are also narrower and come with an adapter key. That key will help to ensure you can remove and install the lug nuts easier without scratching the lug holes of the wheel. Whatever hardware you decide to run, always ensure it is the correct hardware for your vehicle, our wheel, and your intended use.
3. We always recommend using hub-centric rings. Hub-centric rings are used as an alignment tool so when tightened the wheel is perfectly hub-centric to the vehicle going down the road. In some very few cases, such as many BMW wheels, we have made the wheel hub-centric. However this is something that should always be confirmed by your installer or with your retailer at the time of purchase.
4. *** This is super important! *** Always make sure whoever is installing your wheels completes a test fit of your wheels on the vehicle before mounting. This is a common practice amongst wheel and tire professionals, however it’s incredibly important! It can catch any mistakes in shipping, ensure brake caliper and vehicle clearance, and ensure the wheel is able to sit flat to the hub of the vehicle before install. This is also a great time to ensure you have the correct mounting / installation hardware to help ensure a smooth installation.
We always recommend having your wheels and tires installed by a qualified wheel and tire professional.
We hope that helps, if you have any other questions feel free to contact us via phone, email or social media!
Why aren’t there paint codes for wheels
Why aren’t there paint codes for wheels?
We do have paint codes. However, they won’t help you at all, here is why; ALL of our colors are custom blends. That’s because painting a wheel in mass production is very different than painting a part by hand. Our colors, every one, from matte blacks to wild candy colors, are custom developed to account for the unique color and the process that has to be used when finishing a wheel in a mass production setting. Timing, the amount of colors, drying time, temperature, moisture, etc, etc, all effect how similar each wheel looks compared to the one before it.
That’s why we don’t have paint codes that cross reference with a standard PPG, Valspar, BASF or other brand paint company color code.
Do if I need to touch up my wheel what do I do?
One thing you can do is go to any good body shop or good body supply shop and have them color match the paint. It should be very close to the same appearance and current color shade of your wheel. They have special tools called paint spectrometers that can help them to find a solid match for you.
