I am a bit confused about tyre sizes, Would 145/10 fit onto 5.5" x 10 rims. See I have 145s on my standard rims and am buying some wide steel rims (5.5" wide) or will i need to buy new tyres ?

ok the 165 has a wider tread compaerd to the 145, ignor the 1 and put a point between the 2 other number ie: 145 = 4.5 inch 165= 6.5 inch they dont stretch out much, they are fine on my car!!!

cheers
