It's the size of the tire that matters, not the size of the rim.

Sorry, should've cleared that up. I'm running the stock tire size and it's a 700R4 trans. Thanks.

In order to find the tire size we need the numbers on the side (ie 225/55/R16) The first number is the width of the tire in MM the second is the ratio of the width vs. the height and the third is the rim size in inches
