The design rim, also known as the measuring rim width, is derived from the theoretical rim width according to design standards. If a rim is produced in this specific size, it is considered the recommended rim. If not, the closest available size becomes the recommended rim.
The alternative rim width is generally ± 1 to 2 inches of the recommended rim between a min and a max value calculated according to the standards. This rim will work with the tire without distorting the casing and bead area of the tire.
