I've been using this online calculator: http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp

 

Tyre + Rim sizes.

[Ladykillerz]

just to add.

 

personally, I prefer to read from this website, Link

you need Java application to view it.

 

for those who wish to upsize rims/tyres, do take note of the speed change between actual vs. speedometer reading.

 

but one thing to note (perhaps not to everyone) -> you upsized your rims/tyres to look good.

so i would suggest you to hit,

"Speedometer reading with non-stock tire is x.x% too slow."

"When your speedo reads 60mph, you are actually traveling xx.xmph.

 

Although speedometer is no longer accurate but I'm sure you will love the look.~

Actually when fitting tire sizes there are only 2 things to consider.

 

1. Tyre overall height (using tyre size calculators which every knows and wad this thread is abt )

affects speedometer and odometer readings

as a rule of thumb max overall +/- 10mm or 2% difference whichever is lower.

 

 

2. Tyre width ( which most people seem to be overlooking )

affected by ur full lock turning or fender.

manuals provide you with stock specifications which definitely gives you clearance.

Usually increasing by 20-30mm shldn't be a prob but varies from car to car.

If u want even wider tires which come with bigger rims,

Aftermarket mods can be done to accomodate required specifications and widths.

eg.rims with proper offset,fender roll/widen etc.

 

 

At the end of the day, jus consult ur workshop. They should have the expertise for size conversions and allowable fitments for most car models.

My recommendation to be stickied with the top post.

It is very flexible.

 

For example, I will use the Aveo as an example:

 

The stock 13" tires on the Aveo are 155/80-13.

 

So to link the page to someone so that he can decide what tires to use on the Aveo will be:
