What rim fits my tire size

A width window, not a bolt-pattern lookup.

A tire size does not pick one rim. It picks a rim-width window. A 275 section commonly sits on an 8.0 to 9.5 inch wheel. Bolt pattern, offset and centre bore are vehicle questions this site does not answer. Diameter is a tire question; the calculator handles that.

Typical approved windows

These ranges are the usual industry windows for radial tires. A manufacturer can publish a tighter one. When the sidewall and this table disagree, the sidewall wins.

Section width to rim width, typical approved range.
Section widthTypical rim window
215 to 225 mm6.0 to 8.0 in
235 to 245 mm7.0 to 8.5 in
255 to 265 mm7.5 to 9.5 in
275 mm8.0 to 9.5 in
285 mm8.0 to 10.0 in
305 to 315 mm9.0 to 11.0 in
12.50 in flotation8.5 to 11.0 in

Width vs diameter

The last number on a metric stamp is the rim diameter. That one is exact: a 20-inch tire mounts on a 20-inch wheel. The window above is rim width, the measurement between the flanges. Mixing those two words is how a "20 inch rim" conversation skips the part that actually pinches the bead.

Plus sizing often pairs a wider rim with a wider tire. That is a choice inside the window, not a reason to leave it. The plus sizing page is the diameter half of that choice.

Offset and bolt pattern are not in this table

We do not have a fitment dataset and will not invent one. A 275 that fits the width window can still not bolt to the hub. Take the window to a shop with the vehicle in the bay.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put a 275 tire on an 8-inch rim?

Usually yes. 8.0 is the bottom of the typical 275 window. The tire will look a bit pinched. Stay inside the manufacturer's published range.

Does rim width change overall diameter?

Very little. Stretching a tire on a wider rim can pull the diameter down a fraction. It is not a substitute for picking the right stamp.
