thanks for trying TJ but if im correct the 75 is the width of the tire, not height the 265 is the height if im correct. and the reason i asked if a tires the 265/75/16 tire would change to a 255/75/17 is because its measured in cm's i believe and 10 cm = one inch, which is a given making up for the height difference. if i were to go an inch bigger on the rim, id have to go an inch smaller on the tire height to still keep that maximum tire size on a stock vehicle you said or else you would rub.

do you understand? or am i totally off?

You are totally off. Here is a break down of tire sizing. The first number is the tire width in mm - in this case 255mm, and to let you know 25.4mm=1inch or 2.54cm=1inch. The second number is sidewall height as a percentage of the tire width - so in this case the sidewall height is 75% of the tire width, which is 255mm - so 75% of 255mm is 191.25mm. The last number is the rim size in inches - in this case 16". So the overall height of your tires would be 16"+(2x191.25mm)=16"+15.06"=31.06"

Hope this helps.
