I understand what you are saying, but regardless of what ridiculous tire sizes that people may have doesn't make it the right tire choice or the smart tire choice. You can squeeze a 15" wide tire on an 8" wide rim if you really wanted to but it's not safe nor will it last. Anyone who thinks they can put any size tire they want on their wheels is an idiot. Your starting to accomodate them Hammer....lol


SEANUTZ 285 is in Metric. That means the tire is 285mm wide.(11.22") the second number whatever it may be. Lets say 70, so a 285/70/17 tire for ex. The 70 is the Aspect ratio. This is the tire's sidewall height. Meaning it's 70% of the width. So if you take 70% of 285mm you get 199.5mm tall from rim to outer edge. That's 7.85". To get total height, you need to double the aspect number. 199.5x2= 399mm or 15.7". Then you take the 15.7" and add in the rim size which is 17" So 15.7" + 17"= 32.7" tall tire with a width of 11.22"

Hope that helps
