The new tires have to match what the automobile manufacturer requires for that vehicle.

If you have a tire that is 20565R15 can you change tires with different sidewall ratio but have the same tire size 205 and rim 15 so a wider tire and a larger tire foot print?
205 is the width of your tire the 65 is an aspect ratio that determines how tall the tire is compared to the width
Can different width rims but same size tires be on the same car?
yes
How do you find a ratio of width to length in algebra?
Divide the width by the length when both are measured in the same units.
How do you find the depth to width ratio?
Measure the depth and width using the same units. Divide the depth measurement by the width measurement.
What is the ratio of diameter and width of wheel?
It depends on what you mean by width. If you view the wheel as a disk and consider its width as the side-to-side measure, then they two are the same so the ratio is 1. If you view the wheel head-on and consider its width as the profile, then there is no relation.
How much bigger is 285x60x18 tires compared to 33x12.5x16.5 tires?
They are approximately same width but first one (285) is about 2 inch taller - AND they will NOT fit same rims.
Can you change tires from 2254517 to 2255517?
Both tires are the same width but have different overall heights. The 45 series is 25" tall. The 55 series is 26.5" tall. 225 divided by 25.4 will get the width in inches, then multiply that answer by the aspect ratio number i.e. .45 or .55 that will get the sidewall height. Then double that answer and add the diameter of the wheel i.e. 17. That will get the overall height. This should help you compare tires. Keep in mind different heights can cause speedometer inaccuracy.
Is it ok to have 3 tires the same ratio and 1 different on a car?
By ratio if you mean size, the answer is no unless the car comes from the factory with a different size rear tires than front tires like some sports cars. In that case you would have 2 tires the same size on the front and 2 tires another size on the rear. You should never ever run 2 different size tires on the same axle. Therefore you would never have a situation where you would have 3 tires one size and then 1 tire another size.
What is the maximum width tire you can put on a 94 Ford F150 with stock 15 inch tires?
The maximum width that of tire that you can put on a 94 Ford F150 with stock 15-inch tires is about 7.5 inches. You should also ensure that you fit in brake shoes of the same width.?æ
How do you determine if rectangles are Simular?
If the 'ratio' (length/width) of one rectangle is the same number as (length/width) of the other one, then the two rectangles are similar.
Do all tires on a car have to be the same size?
yes and no....they must always be the same diameter and width on the same axle. 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicals all tires must be the same. It is common on rear wheel drive sport cars to run much larger and wider tires on the rear.
Are 2 rectangles similar?
Only if they both have the same ratio of length to width. Since every square has the same ratio of length to width ( it's 1 ), all squares are similar. Gee, when you think about it, every regular polygon is similar to every other regular polygon with the same number of sides. I never realized that.
