Best Answer

Read the side of the tire. It should have a number such as 225/70/R15 The 225 is in millimeters, the 70 is a fraction or 70 % of the tread width the R is for Radial tire type and the 15 is the rim diameter. You can also measure the inside of the rim not to include the rim bead. Be sure to tell the rim manufacture the tire size to get a proper fit for the tire width.

How do I know the kind of rims and tires I need for my vehicle?

There are numerous considerations you need to put into choosing tires for your vehicle. First of all, you need to know your expected needs for your tires and your driving usages. Find a good store that you can trust, and that is very brilliant in what they do, and will give you good advice on what tires you will need. Be sure to tell them about the driving conditions you do the most. If it's a work truck that's going out to feed the cattle, it will need different tires than your little red sports car. Also, size is an important factor.

Will 22 inch rims fit on a 2002 Chevy Impala?

Yes, but you will have to have special very low profile tires put on the rims or they won't fit into the fender wells. Also , ask your garage to check things like the clearance of the shocks/struts etc BEFORE you spend a lot of money on these tires/rims. Most tire shops should have charts to tell them exactly what the biggest rim/tire combo will fit a certain vehicle. Chuck
