Tire size	Rim size and bolt pattern	Pressure, psi
185x R14 110L	Rim 14x5.5 ET35 ~~5x112~~	41 psi
195/75R15 108L	Rim 15x6 ET33 ~~5x112~~	41 psi
205/65R16 105L	Rim 16x6.5 ET31 ~~5x112~~	41 psi

How to read 110L: 110 is the load index (up to 2,337 lb / 1,060 kg per tire) and L the speed rating (up to 75 mph / 120 km/h). ET35 is the wheel offset: how far the mounting face sits from the rim centre, in millimetres. Compare offsets in the wheel offset 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.
