    spare tire rims and tires

    So ive picked up 2 rims last night which appear to be full size steel spares rims. Both have tires but i couldnt see any markings on them to id them to make or model any ideas? btw they came off differant vehicles one has an older tire but good tread and the other looks to be pretty new. is there an easy way to find out about them?

    I use a tape measure and sometimes a straight edge if needing the offset...special tools helpful but not necessary.

    If you have a used tire shop that fixes flats they have a tool and can tell you what kind of car they fit.
    Good Luck
