2. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Wheels with Asanti 28 in (710 mm) rims on a police Hummer H2 car. The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. The diameter of the wheel is the diameter of the cylindrical surface on which the tire bead rides. The width is the inside distance between the bead seat faces.

3. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

   The rim type codes SS or HB precede the rim designation, whereas code C is appended to the nominal width. Examples: SS 400×20, HB 422×25, 620×13C. The nominal width of a rim is the inner width between the straight sides or beads as one can easily measure it with a caliper (see the standard for drawings and exact measurement procedures).

4. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   To take a common example, 195/55R16 would mean that the nominal width of the tire is approximately 195 mm at the widest point, the height of the side-wall of the tire is 55% of the width (107 mm in this example) and that the tire fits 16-inch-diameter (410 mm) rims. The code gives a direct calculation of the theoretical diameter of the tire.

5. Rim (wheel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim_(wheel)

   A separation distance between opposed rim flanges. The flange-to-flange width of a rim should be a minimum of three-quarters of the tire section width. And the maximum rim width should be equal to the width of the tire tread. Type Depends on the type of vehicle and tire. There are various rim profiles, as well as several rim components.

6. 29er (bicycle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/29er_(bicycle)

   Larger wheels roll over obstacles more easily. The ability of a wheel to roll over obstacles is proportional to its size. A 29″ wheel, which is about 10% larger than a 26″ wheel, can roll over 10% larger obstacles. [citation needed] The larger diameter wheels have more angular momentum so they lose less speed to obstacles and rough sections.

7. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

   Wheelbase (measured between rotational centers of wheels) Bike geometry parameters: The wheelbase of a bicycle. In both road and rail vehicles, the wheelbase is the horizontal distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels. For road vehicles with more than two axles (e.g. some trucks), the wheelbase is the distance between the ...
