Ian W Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 it's not the diameter of the wheel that dictates the width of the tyre mate, it's the width of the wheel. i.e. 8j or 8.5j or 9j etc you can go for a lower profile but to keep the same rolling radius you'd need wider tyres with a lower profile and on a larger wheel........ confused? i am now!

garethr Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Here's a tyre size calculator http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi Some of the tyre company sites have details of the tyre sizes which can be fitted to the various rim widths (Cooper Tires for one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
