Starwriter Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Whats confusing you is that tire size is always diameter, width at the bulge, rim size, and wheels are diameter then width. You always want the wheel width narrower than the stated width of the tire. But why in the hell would you buy from someone with no feedback, and an ebay member for less than a month?

So are u saying that the diameter is what im looking for a far as the wheel size?.....and i figured the seller has to start somewhere.....isnt that how all sellers started...or i cold be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yes, obviously diameter is what counts. Width is a little bit flexible. All crooks have to start somewhere too. I surely wouldn't gamble on someone who has never bought or sold anything. Or maybe he has. Maybe his previous ebay account was closed by ebay for ripping people off, and he just started a new one.

aleyesonme Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 To make it more clear....basically the last number on the tire ( which is rim size) should match the first number on the rim ( which is diameter) is that correct???

TRue, i understand that.....but 40 bucks i was willing to give a shot.....price does seem extremely low tho for brand new polished wheels....do u know where i can find some for or near that price anywhere else? Just didnt wanna het the wrong size....ive heard totally two differnt stories....so just wanted to clarify....but i knew the fellow members would lead me right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleyesonme Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yes, that's correct. Thank u so much...so is there any cons that the bulge of the width of the tire is 10 when the rim is only 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 You know that's just 1 wheel, right? Thank u so much...so is there any cons that the bulge of the width of the tire is 10 when the rim is only 8? That's what you want. You want the width of the tire at the bulge to be wider than the bead to bead width of the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleyesonme Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Oh wow I was gonna ask seller that I just assumed it was a set....smdh..thanks again for pointing that out...thanks for everyone's help...really appreciate it...thanks again Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
