What Tyre Sizes fits what Rim?
Hi All,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I need your help.
I have some 5.5J x 15 steel rims.
What size tyres am I looking at for them?
or does anyone have a link to a suitable tyre size comparison web-site?
Thanks for looking in!

A rough approximation for nominal tire width is 125% of the wheel width. So a 5.5" wheel would use a (5.5 X 25.4 X 1.25) 175 mm tire +/- 10
mm.
Conversely, the wheel would be 80% of the tire width. +/- .5"
At least this will get you in the ballpark. Once you focus in on a particular tire, always check the mfgr's recommended wheel range for your
size tire.
