Formula

Overall Diameter = (2 × Sidewall Height) + Wheel Diameter

  • Sidewall Height (in) = (Section Width in mm × (Aspect Ratio / 100)) / 25.4
  • Wheel Diameter = rim size in inches (last number in tire code)
  • Example: For 265/70R17: Sidewall = (265 × 0.70) / 25.4 = 7.30 in. Diameter = (2 × 7.30) + 17 = 31.6 inches
