So I am wondering how wide of a tire can you fit on different width rims. I assume that sidewall height and diamater may affect the width as well. And can you go too wide and start to hurt your tires performance because your sidewalls are rounding in to fit on the rim?
I tried searching but everything I find relates back to the car. I am more curious if anyone knows any more details on the tire and rim widths specifically... (Basically I am not concerned with "too much tire" for the car)
I have 225's on my 14 x 6 rims and I have 245's with my 17 x 8 rims... Is that good or can I go wider? What If I went to an 8.5" rim... would a 245 perform better on that width of a rim? These are the types of questions I am trying to get at...
