Protect your investment and take the extra steps to properly secure and package your items for shipping. Remember, packaging is used to protect your wheels \/ rims and tires while in transit, so take time to ensure everything is safe for transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The items you&#8217;ll need to prepare your shipment can easily be found at retailers like Home Depot, U-Haul or Amazon. You just might find everything you need already in your garage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shopping list:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corrugated cardboard&nbsp;&#8211; Recycle boxes you may already have on hand or purchase new. Use thick, sturdy pieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foam padding&nbsp;&#8211; This is often available in rolls. You\u2019ll want this to create extra padding and cushion between the wheel face and the cardboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretch Film\/Wrap&nbsp;&#8211; There are stretch wraps made specifically for shipping purposes but standard household &#8220;cling wrap&#8221; will work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Packing Tape and a Utility Blade (box cutter)<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;Make sure it&#8217;s sharp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how_to_pack-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how_to_pack-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how_to_pack-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how_to_pack-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how_to_pack-864x1536.png 864w, https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how_to_pack.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-contrast-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-contrast-background-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Measure carefully using the guide below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how-to-measure.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how-to-measure.png 585w, https:\/\/www.shipnerd.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ShipNerd_tire_wheel_how-to-measure-300x228.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support Home &gt; Packing &gt; How To Prepare a Tire &amp; Wheel \/ Rim Combination for Shipping: Here are&nbsp;ShipNerd&#8217;s&nbsp;recommendations for how to prepare a tire\/wheel combination for shipping.
