Wide wheel rims / tyre size...?

[Andy B.L.C.]

Not doubting the source of the info, but would using a 100 x 90 x 10 on a standard rim =ish a 350 x 10 on a wide rim...?

i use a 100/90 x 10 on standard width rims.
cant quite understand your question.

100/90 x 10 on a standard rim is very slightly 'taller' and wider than than a 3.50 x 10 on the standard rim.

I'd imagine that a 3.50 x 10 on a wide rim would have a lower profile than the 100/90 on a standard one.

Cheerz Ross! That was the answer that I was getting at, the numbers made no sense to me but 'wider' & 'taller' (as long as not the 400x10 bump stop dumped, no problems in a 75mph blow out Margate '88 scenario, square section steel mesh thing...) were what I in my ignorance was looking into, specifically the wider bit...

[rossclark]

The metric sizes are quite hard to get your head round.

100 means it's 100 mm wide which is more or less 4"

90 is the aspect ratio, so 90% of 100 mm therefore 90 mm tall which is slightly more than 3.5".

100/90 usually go on the rear with no issues with standard rims.
