Will it fit your cup holder?
This is the question that decides a tumbler purchase, and the honest answer needs one admission first: Ideus does not publish a base diameter for any piece in this range. So this page does not pretend to know. It tells you which pieces the maker itself calls cup-holder friendly, gives everything else a confidence level with the reason attached, and hands you a ring to measure your own holder in thirty seconds.

Measure it yourself
Print this page at 100% (no “fit to page”) and drop the rings over your holder, or lay a ruler across the opening and read the widest point. Most holders are between 2.6 and 3.4 inches across, and the difference decides everything.
The rings above are drawn at 96 pixels to the inch, which is what a browser prints at 100%. If your printer scales the page, the ruler is the safer method.
Cup holders are not standardised, and that is the whole problem. A 2007 saloon, a 2024 pickup and the rear console of the same car can differ by three quarters of an inch, and some have a spring insert that grips a small cup and refuses a large one. That is why this page answers with a confidence level rather than a yes.
Two shapes cause most of the trouble. A handle is the obvious one: it fouls the console or the gear selector even when the base drops in perfectly, and so a mug with a handle is a desk piece, not a car piece. The second is taper. A tumbler that narrows towards the base sits deeper and steadier than one with straight sides, and a straight-sided 20 oz can sit high enough to catch your elbow.
If you are buying for a car, the tumblers are the pieces the maker itself describes as cup-holder friendly, and the straw tumblers with a handle are the ones to measure twice. Nothing on this site is described by base diameter, and until that appears in a listing we would rather hand you a ring than a number we cannot source.
