I have always been taught that the J referred to the shape of rim, not the width. I know that I have 4 1/2 J as will as 5 1/2 J for the Spit.

Going one step further, it appears that there are essentially 4 types of flange shape. They are J, B, JK and K. According to the info I have, J is the most common, B is found on smaller vehicles and

I think the J is actually the wheel "offset". Doug is right, there is a diameter (e.g. 15) and there's a width 4.5, 5.5, etc. The only thing left is the offset. rml -- Bob Lang Room N42-140Q | This s
