If you have saved documentation regarding your chair when you first bought it, you could refer to it to find the type of caster stem fit and measurements. Sometimes, information like this is also stated one of the labels printed when you flip over the chair.
Wheel Casters
If you can't find the information those ways, simply look at one of the existing wheels. You can pull it out of the caster socket. If you need a little help, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry it. Once the caster has been removed, measure the diameter and length of the stem (the metal post that you just pulled out). Besides the measurements, take note also of the look and feel of the stem.
