Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Buick Encore is compared with the one from Opel Ampera-e of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

  • ≈6.5Jx16 ET42 · 205/70R16 — Fits like the original

    Compared with the original 6.5Jx16 ET41 on Opel Ampera-e: shock absorber side +1 mm, wheel arch side −1 mm, tyre diameter +9.7 % : fit it with the original tyre size of Opel Ampera-e (205/55R16), not that of Buick Encore. Comparison for guidance only (estimated width). Check in detail

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Opel Ampera-e (Ecrous - 12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
