How this calculator works

Sidewall in mm = width × aspect ratio ÷ 100. Rim diameter in mm = rim inches × 25.4. Revolutions per km = 1,000,000 ÷ circumference in mm.

Read the full methodology for definitions, conversion factors and limitations.

Worked example

205/55 R16 has a 112.75 mm sidewall and a 631.9 mm overall diameter. Its nominal circumference is about 1,985.2 mm.

Before you act on the result

Tire and wheel dimensions cannot confirm fitment. Check wheel width, offset, suspension and wheel arch clearance, load and speed ratings, and manufacturer recommendations. Ask a qualified tire professional to verify modifications. Actual tire measurements vary with construction, pressure, load and wear.

Frequently asked questions

What does the R mean?

R describes radial construction. It is not a radius measurement. The number after R is the wheel diameter in inches.

Can I enter flotation sizes?

This calculator accepts metric passenger-style sizes such as 205/55 R16. Flotation formats such as 33×12.50 R15 are not supported.
