Most tires are measures by the rim size needed to mount it
so a 14 inch tire is relative to the rim.
then notice the other measurements on the tire...
like.. my car... 255 50 16...
FIRST
255 is the width.. i assume in Millitimeters... = 25.5 Centimeters... = about 10 inches.
MIDDLE
50 is the height in PERCENT of the width ( 255 in this case) soo
tire~sidewall = one half of 255 = 127.5 about 5 inches..
LAST number
16 rim size. in inches... = Diameter While the rim is on the car, measure across rim from top to bottm.
HOPE this helps..
in short...
Yes it is much smaller in the center.. and will not fit your project, without buying a new rim.
BEST REGARDS.
