How do you determine wheel size?
Gearing and speedometer accuracy is normally affected when you replace the wheels on a car with larger ones.

Wheel size is composed of 2 dimensions, the wheel width and wheel diameter. For example, a 22à 9.0 wheel has a diameter of 22” and a width of 9”. You can also check the wheel size by looking at the vehicle owner’s manual or by looking at your tire TIN number.
