When you are going to buy bicycle rims, you may also consider what size of tire to use on it.
Or you may already have tire and
are wondering which size of rim would fit your tire.
Improper tire size could cause damage on
the rim may put rider in danger.
If the tire is too narrow, you may suffer
more pinch flats and blowout.
If the tire is too wide, you may suffer
tire burping. The stability and controllability will be weakened.
The following chart provides the guidance.
Please note, when you look at the table,
the width of rim should be “inner width”.
The letter “C” is short for Compatible,
while letter “O” is short for Optimal.
It is firmly recommended that you choose the tire size within “Optimal” range, which will better fit the rim, easier for assembly,
and provides best performance of tire/rim combination.

*Note:
The chart is based on ETRTO, combining with our rim-tire compatibility
tests (selected common tires).
This chart serves as a general guidence. Other factor (different design in
tire, air pressure, etc) will also affect the compatibility.
If you are not quite sure, it would be better that you double check with
tire supplier.
It is firmly recommended that you choose the tire size within “Optimal”
range, which will better fit the rim, easier for assembly, and
provides best performance of tire/rim combination.
