You must know the answer is NO. Not necessarily true, we're talking about width I assume, the section width of the tire 10" in this case is measured at the widest part of the tire. The bead, the part of the tire that sits on the wheel, is significantly narrower. Just as an example P245/55R20, which is a 10" wide tire lists the apporved rim width as 7.0"-9.0", so depending on the exact size it is very possible that your 10" wide tire could go on a 7" wide rim.
For a 12.50 inch wide tire, the Tire & Rim Association approves a rim width range of 8 1/2 inches to 11 inches.
the last # on your tire is the size rim you need for that tire 295 50 15 /15 inch rim I am sure you know it must be a 15" rim and were asking about the width of the rim. You need at least a 9" wide rim but a 10" would be even better to avoid tire bulge.
yes you can if you are talking width
No. Sorry!
Probably, yes. There are some recommendations on rim width vs tire width - I'll post a link. You have to scroll down a bit.
Depends how wide your rim is and on what vehicle.
No, it will be unstable and unsafe.
A tire's section width (aka"cross section width") is the measurement of the tire's width from its inner sidewall to its outer sidewall (excluding any protective ribs, decorations or raised letters) at the widest point. This measurement is made without any load placed upon the tire. The rim the tire is mounted on affects this measurement. On a narrow rim the measurement would be "narrower" than if the same tire was mounted on a wide rim. The industry rule of thumb is that for every 1/2" change in rim width, the tire's section width will correspondingly change by approximately 2/10". For example: a tire in the P205/60R15 size is measured on a 6.0" wide wheel and this size tire has an approved rim width range from 5.5" to 7.5" wide. The tire has a section width of 8.23" (209mm) when mounted on a 6.0" wide wheel. If that tire were mounted on a rim: 5.5" - 8.03" cross section width 7.5" - 8.93" cross section width It's mainly important for (fender, frame)clearances, but a narrow rim should give a softer ride due to sidewall positioning, but less grip due to tread not less flat, more sidewall roll.
No, the 15" wheel must be wide enough the handle this very wide tire.
2.35 is the width measurement, which is only half the story. There's diametertoo. And unless you get the diameter spot on, the tire won't fit.And normal doesn't cut it, there are plenty of normal rim sizes. You have to be specific.Rims can usually take tires of quite different widths, but the tire has to clear the frame too. And 2.35 is quite wide. My bike can't run it.
No. You have some leeway when it comes to width, but diameter has to be spot on.
