No Way!!! That's crazy talk????                20" is .....well....20"        or your tyres would fall off.

Anyhow, do I have an answer to: Is a 20x1 3/8 (Rim) wider or narrower than a 20x1.75 (Rim).??????

Nosnod:
A 20x1 3/8 rim is narrower than a 20x1.75

However a 20x1.3/8 rim is larger in diameter than the 20x1.75 due to the 20 inches being the diameter when the tyre is on - as the 1.75 tyres are a lot deeper than a 1.3/8

I think this is right and hope it clarifies things  :buck2: :D

Frosty:
Head, nail hit it you have :daumenhoch:
