Tire size	Rim size and bolt pattern	Pressure, psi
245/75R16 120R	Rim 16x6.5 ET28 8x165.1	50 psi
265/70R17	Rim 17x7.5 ET28 8x165.1	50 psi
275/55R20 111S	Rim 20x8.5 ET12 8x165.1	32 psi

How to read 120R: 120 is the load index (up to 3,086 lb / 1,400 kg per tire) and R the speed rating (up to 106 mph / 170 km/h). ET28 is the wheel offset: how far the mounting face sits from the rim centre, in millimetres. Check a new wheel against the factory 16x6.5 ET28 in the offset and backspacing calculator.

What these columns mean

Rim size: Rim diameter × width in inches, and the factory offset (ET) in millimetres, e.g. 18x7.5 ET25.
Bolt pattern (PCD): Number of studs and the diameter of the circle they sit on. It must match exactly.
Center bore: Diameter of the hub hole. Larger aftermarket bores need hub-centric rings.
Pressure: Recommended cold inflation pressure for that axle, in psi.
Thread size: Lug bolt or nut thread — needed when buying aftermarket fasteners.
