- Technician A says that replacement wheel rims should be the same as the original equipment wheels in load capacity, offset, width, diameter, and mounting configuration. Technician B says that if wheels are installed that have a different stock width or diameter, make sure to use a tire that has the same overall width as the original tires. Otherwise the vehicles wheel-speed sensors, speedometer, antiock brake system, and many other systems will be affected. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c.
