Wheel caps doesn’t fit
« on: May 25, 2023, 08:58:04 pm »
Hello, my tires are 15 inch and I bought 4 wheels caps on kijiji who I was told were 15 inch. But they are two big. Is there a way to know, for sure, what is the size of the wheel caps I bought so I can sell them again on kijiji. The metal ring inside the wheel cap are 15 and 3/16 inch when I measure them.
Thank you.

My question is how can I know the size of the wheel cap because there is no size on it. Since they are to big I guess they are 16 inch but how can I be sure because I want to put it on kijiji but I need to know the size.

I just measured a 16" steel wheel I have and it appears to be about 15-5/8" to where a wheel cover would clip.     I don't have a wheel cover to measure.

I'd guess yours is a 16".   Go to CanadianTire and measure some on the shelf is another option
