What it is
About Wheel Installation
Wheel installation is fitting a set of wheels to your vehicle, with the tires mounted and balanced and the hardware checked. Extreme Tires does it at the Sunrise shop and by mobile van across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
It covers aftermarket upgrades, replacing a bent or curbed wheel and seasonal swaps between two wheel and tire sets. We check fitment and clearance before anything is mounted.

When you need it
Signs, mileage and age
Check the basics before you buy. A wheel has to match your car's bolt pattern, center bore, offset and load needs. The fitment tools on this site help, and a call with your year, make and model settles the rest.
Hub-centric rings matter when a wheel's center bore is larger than your hub. Konig describes them as an alignment tool that centers the wheel on the hub, and recommends using them.
Lug hardware has to match the wheel's seat. Konig says its wheels use conical seat hardware and warns that the wrong lug nut or bolt can cause a wheel to come loose.
Technique matters as much as hardware. The Tire Industry Association teaches the RIST procedure, which stands for Remove, Inspect, Snug, Torque, and says a torque wrench on its own is not enough to produce the right clamping force.
Step by step
What happens at your appointment
- Verify fitment and clearance for the wheels on your vehicle.
- Remove the old wheels and inspect the hub faces and studs.
- Mount and balance the tires on the new wheels, or transfer your existing tires.
- Fit hub-centric rings where the wheel needs them, and check that the lug hardware matches.
- Snug the lug nuts in sequence, then torque them to specification.
- Transfer or program the TPMS sensors so the system reads each wheel.
Straight pricing
From $35 per wheel
That is a real starting price, not a teaser. What you actually pay depends on your vehicle and what the job needs. We confirm the total with you before any tool comes out, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
What changes the price
- How many wheels. The price is per wheel.
- Tire mounting. Bare wheels need tires mounted and balanced on them, and that is separate from fitting wheels that already have tires on them.
- Hardware. If the wheels do not come with the right lug nuts or hub-centric rings, those are added parts.
- TPMS. Transferring your sensors costs less work than programming new ones, and sensors that fail on the car need replacing.

Questions, answered
Wheel Installation: common questions
Do I need hub-centric rings for aftermarket wheels?
If the wheel's center bore is larger than your vehicle's hub, yes. Konig describes the rings as the part that centers the wheel on the hub and recommends always using them. We check the bore during fitment verification.
Why does the lug nut seat type matter?
The seat is the shape where the lug nut or bolt meets the wheel, such as conical. Konig warns that using the wrong hardware can cause a wheel to come loose, so we check that the hardware matches before we torque anything.
Will my TPMS work with new wheels?
Usually, once the sensors are transferred or replaced and the vehicle has relearned them. Tire Review says a relearn should always follow sensor replacement. Where new wheels need new sensors, we program them to your vehicle.
