How do you read a tire size?
The two-digit number after the slash mark in a tire size is the aspect ratio. For example, in a size P215/65 R15 tire, the 65 means that the height is equal to 65% of the tire's width. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire's sidewall will be.
What is an offset wheel?
Offset refers to how your car's or truck's wheels and tires are mounted and sit in the wheel wells. ... Positive wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in front (more toward the street side) of the centerline of the wheel. Most wheels on front-wheel drive cars and newer rear-drive vehicles have positive offset.

Can I use 265 tires instead of 255?
Since you only specified the first, I can only tell you that the 265 is 10mm wider than the 255. It's important to note that the outer diameter (how far the wheel rolls in one revolution) is slightly more for a 265 than a 255 at the same aspect ratio as the sidewall would be larger.
How do I know if a tire will fit my rim?
Width and diameter are the two factors that determine tire and rim compatibility. For diameter you'll need to be sure that your tires and wheels are an exact match, e.g. a 215/65R17 tire will only fit on a 17" diameter wheel. There's a bit more flexibility when it comes to wheel widths.
Can I use 60 instead of 65 tires?
Yes, the only real difference is that ratio between the tread width and the height of the sidewall will change. The lower the middle number the lower the profile of the tire the larger the number the higher the tire profile.
What does 50r mean on tires?
50 is the two-figure aspect ratio. This percentage compares the tire's section height with the tire's section width. For example, this aspect ratio of 50 means that the tire's section height is 50% of the tire's section width. R indicates the construction used within the tires casing. R stands for radial construction.
