Let's say OE tires are 205/65 r15. The quick
break down...205 (tread width, in millimeters), 65
(aspect ratio...205* 0.65= 133.25 mm...sidewall height),
and r15 is rim diameter (don't know why they use
"r"). So the total tire height, in inches is 15+
133.25*(.03997[conversion factor from mm to inches])*2= 25.49
inches<br><br>Yeah, you can do all that math, the easier way is to
pick up this pattern...<br><br>Say you want wider
wheels, 215/60 r15. Say you want 16" rims, 205/60
r16.<br><br>So basically for every increment of tread width
(215, 225, 235,...)or rim diamter (16", 17",...) you
decrease the aspect ratio by 5. If you do both, increase
the tread width and rim diamter, decrease the aspect
ratio by 10. It works in reverse also.<br><br>205/65

the 225/55 will be 0.75 inches smaller, or 2.9 percent smaller (which is still
safe). But (I don't know the answer)will a 225mm tire fit a 6" rim?<br><br>tan
