here is another tire comparator:

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit


you can compare up to 4 wheel sizes at once, view wheels sizes that will fit and has nice side by side comparison of  other stats!

i am not sure what you mean eviljack - it gives you the available range of rim width sizes that fit each tire being compared.

Ok sorry I will clarify a bit. It asks you to pick TIRE sizes and comare them. Then gives you the info about the tire and the potential rim widths and such.

The issue I have with it is your comparing your tire and seeing what rim sizes work with it. Kinda backwards for my taste. I like to pick my rims that will work on my vehical and then find out what tire sizes work.

Use the chart at the top of this thread:
http://newscionxb.com/wheels_tires/eddnogs_xb_20_wheel_tire_chart-t23.0.html
Try to keep it in the greens and the Speedo should remain as accurate as it is on the OEM rims and tires.

Quick isn't the same as fast . . .
Fast is just acceleration and top speed.
Quick is maintaining that speed in a corner, better than just fast.
The xB is QUICK!
