Rim and tyre combinations?

(1/4) > >>

Bfellows:
Are there any no go combinations?  1.5 rim - 2.25 tyres for example?  Or is it always best to match the rim to the tyre?

Retrodan72:
I remember BITD lads putting 2.125 on the back, and 1.75 on the front, in a sort of dragster, American hot rod style, probably at 13 years old seemed cool, defo a tragic choice on a bike now. :wtf:

Jaan:
It's always a good idea to match diameters  :LolLolLolLol:

I don't think it really matters I personally like the look of 1.5 tyres on 1.75 rims . look racey , and 2.25 tyres on 1.75 rims look scrambly, I've had 2.25 tyres on 1.5 rims and they looked fine
