    Default Handy Tire Guides - Estimate Your Stretch!

    http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

    Super useful site I just found that lets you play around with different sizing to see what does what.

    Really useful site, you type in the sizes of the tire and it comes up with pics of what you'd achieve with that certain size tire on that size rim.

    (in this order, separated by underscores)
    -Wheel Width
    -Tire Width
    -Tire Profile
    -Wheel Size

    For example; 8_205_35_R18

    8" wide wheel
    205/35/R18 Tire

    Easy enough!












    So I thought I'd throw these out there since I find them, the second especially, quite helpful on my hunt for tires. And I hope they can do the same for you!

    I like "will they fit" better because it will kinda give you an idea of how much stretch as opposed to the "rimsntires" one where they will adjust the tire size to be correct for the rim width automatically.
