Default measures of a tire

e.g 20x10x9
20 is tire height
10 is width
9 is rim (something)
In matching a tire to a rim only the last number has to match

Default measures of a tire

12x7 4+3 offset wheel

12= wheel diameter
7=wheel width
4=inside offset of wheel (mounting face to inner lip). this is important for suspension clearance.
3=outside offset of wheel (mounting face to outer lip). this is important for overall width of machine.

see the douglas FAQ/info thread, that explains it all.
