Gee, it might be useful if it were accurate, but it's not. I entered my 2001 Integra Type R and it claimed that the stock size is 205/50-16. (The correct answer is 195/55-15.) It also suggests 19" wheels which are WAY too big, tires whose outer diameter is 6.3 percent larger than stock which means they will rub big time, and truly crappy tires, much worse performance than the stock tires.

I can't attest to how accurate the fitment computer is (or isn't) with regard to identifying the stock wheels on a particular vehicle. But then you can determine this by looking at the stamping on the back of the wheel and then manually entering that information (including offset). Then simply input replacement wheel/tire information and see what impact there'd be on the speed indication, inner wheel well/suspension clearance, and protrusion (i.e. outside the wheel wells). Overall tire height is easy to find. This is the only site I've come across that so easily calculates clearances based on wheel offset, etc. But, to each his own!

I also found the rest of this site easy to navigate and I like the easily-identified combinations that included a fitment guarantee. Now if they'd upgrade their vehicle imaging software to Softwheels or something similar their site would 'have it all', in my opinion.
