Swapping Wheels From One Car to Another

June 10, 2020 By Becca Gardner

Wheel Swap at McGrath Auto

One of our most frequently asked service questions we get here at McGrath is: “Can I swap wheels from a different model of vehicles to another?” When it comes to swapping out wheels from one make and model to another, there are a few things to consider before getting started.

Consider: Bolt Pattern

Start by assessing the bolt pattern on both vehicles. Will the wheels bolt up to the axels on the vehicle? Wheels come in several different bolt patters, 4-LUG, 5-LUG, 6-LUG, 8-LUG, and Dual. Knowing which bolt patterns line up is key for the success of the wheel exchange.

Consider: Differences with Newer Vehicle Models

Nearly all newer vehicle models have a tire pressure monitoring system. Before swapping the wheels, make sure that the proper tire pressure monitor is installed to the wheel before swapping them. Having the same tire pressure monitor system installed does not happen very frequently.

We Are Here To Help

Every vehicle and situation vary. If you have any questions about your vehicles specifically and if swapping the wheels is possible, stop in at any of our McGrath locations and one of our certified professionals can help you out.

Take a look at the video above for a detailed description of swapping your tires. Our certified professional answers this frequently asked question and how it can be possible.
