Ah ok perfect thanks that was really helpful. Now does the greater percentage mean the thinner the tire? or is it the opposite? And I'm going with 22s

So for example, maybe you want 275/40/R20... usually for the rears for 20". So 275 Width, only 40% of 275 is profile, and Rim 20s.

Do you kind of understand the numbers now? for 20" fronts, its mostly 245/45/R20.
