My theory for Best wheel size for a car

My theory for Best wheel size for a car

A lot of times, I look at cars and their wheels and I think to myself "those wheels are too small" or "those wheels look way too big". I'm sure you have experienced the same. So after much observation, I have come across a theory of what wheel size looks best on a car. Now by me saying "best" is just my opinion of a nice balanced look where the wheels/rims aren't too small or too large. **This has nothing to do with performance, just looks**

This is how I calculate:


1) measure the height clearance of you car. If your front and back bumper have a noticeably significant height difference compared to the middle, then measure the average of the two. I will call this Measurement A

2) Measure the space opening between the tire and the fender. Again if there is a difference between the front and back, just get the average. I will call this Measurement B

3) Lastly, the sidewall height of the tire will be Measurement C. Don't measure the side wall height where the tire is touching the ground since due to gravity, it will be pressed and the number will be less.

Now here is the math:
Measurement A minus Measurement B divided by 2 = measurement C
(A-B)/2 = C

If calculated "C" does not equal Actual Measured "C" (+/- 0.5inches) then according to my theory, you may want to upgrade or downgrade your wheels to make it look more "balanced"

I also say plus or minus 0.5 inches because that is also within acceptable measurement range. For example, if through the calculations your car looks mostly balanced with 16inch wheels, it would also look fine if you had 15inch wheels or 17inch wheels.

If you already have large wheels with a small sidewall and your Measurement B is pretty much zero due to the car being lowered, but your car isn't balanced, then add a lipkit or a body kit to make the body look lower so the already existing wheel and tire looks more balanced with the rest of the car.

-------------------------------------------------

So that is my theory. I've tested my theory on multiple cars and trucks and vans doing only a visual measurement and so far I've been quite happy with my theory. Let me know what you guys think.

Can you put it to the test with some visual examples of some other cars? for example post what a car looks like according to your measurements? with or without body kit or lip kit, with or without aftermarket rims. numbers don't really say much at the end since there might be some visually oriented people.
