Message E.g. 245/40-18

245 is the width of the tire in mm. 40 is the "profile," used to calculate height of the side wall. In this case, 245mm x 40% = 98mm, so the sidewall is 98mm thick. 18 is the size of the wheel.

Stock rims are 16" in diameter, so you can't mount any of those tires on stock rims.

Finally... let me know if you're interested in getting some ADR wheels with tires! (Sorry...)
