Hi,
I have a question about wheel and tyre widths. I have 8x19" rims with 235/35/19 tyres. I know what the various numbers refer to, but can't seem to work out the relationship between the tyre width and the rim width. I have seen other wheels which have the same tyres but on 9.5x19" rims. 8" is 203 mm and 9.5" is 241 mm. What determines the width of tyre that can be fitted to a certain width of rim?
Cheers,
Ade
