Rims are usually used to protect the inner covering of a tire's main base. Often, to make a car appear large or more exotic, car owners may install large rims with 26-inch wheel-bases to the tires. These type of rims are often expensive and require kits to allow the car to drive properly. Before applying a 26-inch rim to your automobile, it is recommended to check to see if your tires are compatible and that the car can withstand the rims' extra large stance.
The Chevy Tahoe, which is manufactured by General Motors, is known for its wide stance and large-capacity tires, regardless of the choice of rims used. Because the Tahoe has a large tire size, using 26-inch rims would not pose a problem and may result in appreciative gazes. It is advised to use locks on the rims to avoid rim theft, as these types of rims are usually in high demand due to their expensive price.
The Ford F-150 is a vehicle of choice for those who need a truck for hauling. The size of this type of truck requires large rims, as the actual tires measure at least 32 inches.
Large rims on a Lincoln Navigator are fitting accessories as the tires required for this vehicle are large. Most Lincoln Navigators employ 22-inch rims comfortably, but to use 26-inch rims, a lowering kit may be useful to prevent the rims from scraping the undercarriage of the SUV when hitting rough surfaces.
