Topic: Tyre to rim sizes

[trueblue]

I found a chart that outlines the size tyres to rim width, I can't upload it direct because it is too large but here is a link

Struth!
I wish I'd looked on the forum before I hunted for hours on the internet looking for tyre to rim sizes. Guess what, I ended up finding this exact table. Just what I needed to see what tyres I'd need for my 500/4 historic racer project and its 2.5" front and 3.5" rear (WHEN, I finally find the right three-spoke wheel, that is!)

Sorry to dig up this post again, but I'm new here...

Can use on my CB500/4 3.00 on front and 3.50 on rear wheel? With 110mm front and 130mm rear tires. Is it possible?

A 2.15 front rim supports a 110 tire and a 2.5 rear supports a 130. The 3 and 3.5 are not required (if that answers your question?).

Each manufacturer will have rim width recommendations for their tires.  Here is a link to Avon and Continental's web page for non-DOT race tires with rim recommendations.
