The formula is tread width in mm x(2 x sidewall height percentage)=tire sidewall height in mm. Divide that by 25.4 to convert to inches,then add rim size to give you overall height. You can always multiply it by 3.14 to get circumfrence.

By the way I thought that avatar pic was Gary Coleman from Different Strokes.

So I was at my bowlling leauge night telling a buddy of my how i just bought those take-off saleen tires. He then mentioned to me that he thinks it may mess up my spedometer and odometer and i'd need to re-calibrate them because I had 16" and now i am putting on 17". Is this true?
Here is a link to a Tire Size Calculator. Enter your old tire/wheel size and the new tire/wheel size and it will tell you the difference.
