Rim & Tire Compatibility Calculator
Check if your tire width is suitable for your rim width based on general industry guidelines.
Mounting a tire on a rim that's too narrow or too wide can lead to poor performance, uneven wear, and potential safety issues like debeading. This calculator helps you determine if your tire's section width (in mm) is generally considered compatible with your rim's width (in inches) by providing a recommended range.
Why Compatibility Matters: - Safety: Incorrect fitment can lead to tire failure. - Performance: Optimal contact patch and sidewall performance depend on proper rim width. - Tire Life: Prevents uneven wear and premature tire degradation.
This tool uses common industry guidelines. However, it's crucial to always consult your specific tire manufacturer's recommendations for the approved rim width range for your chosen tire model, as this can vary.
- Enter the Rim Width in inches (e.g., 7.5 for a 7.5-inch wide rim).
- Enter the Tire Section Width in millimeters (e.g., 225 for a 225/45R17 tire).
- Click "Check Compatibility".
- The results will indicate if the tire width is generally considered recommended or not recommended for the given rim width, along with a typical acceptable range based on general guidelines.
- Always cross-reference with your tire manufacturer's specifications.
