Default question about tires

On my rims for some reason the lips stick out further than the tire so that the lips are exposed and not the tire for protection. Could this be the certain type of tire thats on there or no. I assume that its not the rims because its shaped like my past rims and they were never exposed. Ill be buying new rims for next summer so ill probably go with a different brand of tire. Also I was thinking on getting these cause i love my 20's so maybe yall can give me your input on the rims.

http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp is what i always use. It gives you a full diameter etc. All you do is put in your tire demensions and it will give you all kinds of input like how faster or slower your going when you upgrade your wheels and tires.

its prolly the width of your tires and the width of your rims...prolly very close which causes the rim to pop out a little, whats your rim width, and tire size?
