Quick question here before I order new rims...

the first number on this rims size.. is that the wheel diameter? meaning is this a 10 inch rim?

Thanks! what throws me off is the measurements for the tires. (18 11 10) wasn't sure cause the diameter is switched in that measurement and the tire width don't match. I won't even get into the rim offset numbers?! lol

thanks again!

there actualy sized the same way. od X width X id. theres no id to a rim, thats why theres no 3rd number on rim sizes.

the last number on a tire size equals the first number on a rim size.

the width of a rim makes the tire flatter when pumped up. so if you got 10 inch wide rims the tire would actually have more surface area with the ground for more traction. the tire comes out flatter with a wider rim than a skinnier rim.
