Actuallt the second numbers are a percentage of the width of the wheel. So a 195/45 tyre has a sidewall that is 45% the width of the wheel. I think! | |

You guys are right, it is the width. But the number is in millimeters, so the difference between a 195 and a 205 is only 10mm that would be about 1/3 inch I think, thats why they fit. | |

...also i think if you put 195's on a 6.5" the tyre will look flush with the alloy from the front but a 205 will give you the look when the tyre bows out wider then the wheel, if you get what i mean, this is not 100% but i think this is the case. | |

it is tyre width, a 6.5 rim will be able to take a tyre of width between say 185 and 215, this difference is taken up by the lean in the tyre walls. | |

width mate. I think because the tyres are rubber and fit both. not sure if it's as simple as that though. | |
