Another wheel question
Just been looking at the wheels on ebay and noticed that in allot of the write ups it gives and aspect number, mainly 60 but also 45's and other
numbers.

are you sure you aren't referring to a specific measurement on the tyres and NOT the wheels?
My tyre size is 195/50/15
the 50 being the aspect ratio
(I think!)

aspect ratio refers to the profile of tyres as a percentage of the width
ie a 195 tyre with an aspect ratio of 50 will be 97.5 mm sidewall height

Thats correct but have any of you ever measured it? We did once in the garage and although the tyres said the same on the sidewall different
manufactures tyres were not all the same
