Thats a nice program but doesn't take into consideration rim size at all.

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.

 i do just the opposite! i have been looking to enlarge the tire size on whatever rim i might get to fill the wheel well a little more without having to drop it. |

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