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. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   As an example, if a tire size has two sets of numbers (6-12, 5.00-15, 11.2-24), then the first number (5.00-15) is the approximate width in inches, and the second number (5.00-15) is the rim diameter in inches. If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate ...

4. 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).

5. Wheelbase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheelbase

   Thus, in a car with a short wheelbase ("SWB"), the short lever arm from the CM to the rear wheel will result in a greater lateral force on the rear tire which means greater acceleration and less time for the driver to adjust and prevent a spin out or worse. Wheelbases provide the basis for one of the most common vehicle size class systems.

6. Plus sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_sizing

   Plus sizing is the practice of replacing an automotive wheel with one of a larger diameter fitted with a new tire of lower aspect ratio so that the new tire has close to the same diameter and circumference as the original tire to minimize any changes in speedometer accuracy, torque and traction control, while reducing sidewall flex and (generally) increasing cornering ability.

7. European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Tyre_and_Rim...

   ETRTO sizes apply to rims and tyres for vehicles of all types, including bicycles. The great advantage of ETRTO sizing is that it is unambiguous; previously, nominal dimensions were used which were interpreted in different ways by different countries and manufacturers - a problem for the end user.
