Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Section width = 225

3. Aspect ratio = 45 %

4. Rim diameter = 17

6. Overall diameter = 24.972

7. Overall diameter = 634.3

8. Sidewall height = (225 / 100) x 45 = 2.25 x 45 = 101.25

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

sidewall = width × aspect ÷ 100; diameter = rim (×25.4) + 2 × sidewall.

225/45R17 → ~25.0 in diameter.
