Mechanic Legends Wheels: Sizes, Tires and Rim Changes
Last updated:
Check the wheels on your car before changing a tire or rim at the tire workshop.
Equip the Wrench and point at a wheel to see its specifications. Support the car on a lift or jackstands, remove the wheel, and use the tire machine to separate and reassemble the tire and rim before installing it again.
Read the Installed Wheel's Specifications
Equip the Wrench and point at an installed wheel. The panel shows the rim dimensions, tire name, Overall size and Damage reading.
For example, one wheel fitted with a Street 35 tire reads 18.4 × 9.5 inches for the rim and 24.7 inches for Overall. Those dimensions describe that particular wheel configuration.
Tires, Rims and the Tire Machine
| Name | What it is | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Street 35 | Tire | Fits as the tire in a wheel assembly. |
| LLM T1-R | Rim | Find it in the tire workshop's rim display and press E to view it. |
| Tire Machine | Workshop equipment | Separates a wheel into its tire and rim and assembles them again. |
Raise the Car and Change the Wheel Assembly
- Drive onto the tire workshop lift and press F to get out. Use E at the lift control to raise the car.
- Equip the Wrench, point at the wheel and hold the left mouse button to remove it.
- Place the removed wheel on the tire machine and separate the tire from the rim.
- If you want a different rim, browse the display and select the one you want. You can press E at the LLM T1-R display to view it.
- Put the tire and chosen rim on the machine to assemble the wheel.
- Point the Wrench at the wheel's mounting position and hold the left mouse button to install the assembled wheel.
- After reinstalling the wheel, press Q at the lift control to lower the car.
Why Wheel Removal Is Blocked
The car must be supported by a lift or jackstands before you can remove a wheel. Raise it on the lift or support it with jackstands, then aim the Wrench at the wheel and try again. For other workshop equipment and repair basics, see the car repair guide.
