how to find the rim a tyre sizes for the cars.

how do you find the correct rim and tyre size for the cars?

I personaly just take the dimensions, which was already on the car mounted. When you look in the inventory you see the dimension of the tyres as well as rim, when you dismounted it from the car.

Trial and error, there is no list with sizes that fit. Simply buy the rim, mount the tire, see if it fits.... personally I prefer 22 inch wheels, ET15-20 and a 305 wheel....but you need to find out the best combination for yourself. I only have one car, where actually 25 inch rims fit....the Olsen Luxury

Like the others said, use the existing wheel size to know what replacement to buy. If you are buying aftermarket wheels and want a larger size, you can use rough estimates or use a wheel\tire size calculator. The one I use IRL is: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

Miata.net also has one thats been around for years, but the wheel-size.com one has far more features, like the chart that shows all of the plus size fitments in common tire sizes (which will help you pick a tire size in CMS18) a visual indicator of what the offset changes will do to fender and suspension clearance, and how the new tire size will change your spedometer output if you dont have a tuner or speedometer gear that can adjust it. Check it out.

The game isn't that accurate at all, choose rims the size you want, with the ET you can adjust the rim allignment to the border of the fender....I mean how far the wheel stands over or is in the wheelhouse (hope it's called like that)

Then you choose a tire with the same inch size like the rim, and a width....so if you want wide wheels just choose 305 or above (game does not care as long as inch of rim fits) choose the profile height you want and mount it....

The annoying thing is you can mount 25 inch wheels with 325 width and they just glitch through the body of the car....so you spend most time finding out which ET to use to put the wheels under the fenders without glitching through the body 😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah what the others said, another pisspoor implementation of a marketed feature.

I am definitely super mega late to this thread but they have a mode called "Car Editor" which will pop up as a launch option when pressing play from the steam launcher and it will show every single car and its parts specifically and it can tell you the rim and tire size and type.

It's quite simple to find the original tire sizes for a vehicle, modded or not. You need to traverse through the files of your Steam directory to find the Workshop folder for CMS2018 which is ID 645630

Example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\645630

Then you want to find your car, in the workshop mod folder, you can find this by going to the
modded cars workshop page, right clicking the page and copying the URL, paste the url on a notepad and get the mod's ID, use this to find your modded cars folder, open it and open the config.txt file.

If this isn't a mod uploaded on Steam Workshop, then you would most likely have added it through StreamingAssets.

Example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2018\cms2018_Data\StreamingAssets\Car

Find your car folder, open it and open config.txt

This file contains the default sizes for the tires including rim type, rim width/depth, wheel type and wheel width.

Example:

[3_wheel_front_left]
frontWheelMaxSize=0.3767
rim=rim_bentley_continental_2
rimSize=21
tire=tire_sport
tireSize=35
wheelWidth=275

Sigh.... Top menu, select Guides, search.... Come on guys, people take a lot of time composing and maintaining these Guides, so please at least give them a go...

There are a bunch of small numbers on the title, check that.

[Chubby Buns]

is there a way to find the "stock" rim if I accidentally forgot to add it to list?

[Chubby Buns]

or placed the wrong rim size on to the car?

That's already been answered in this thread. Also, see the 'Guides' section in steam (for CMS) and you'll find a guide giving a list of cars and their wheel / tire sizes.

Edit: See @Aeywoo answer above also.
