Here is an example: 235/55r17
235 = width of tire
55 = profile of tire (how tall the sidewalls are)
17 = the size of the rim you have.
Our stock tire diameter for our cars is 27 inches. You should try and aim to get a tire within about an inch of that size.
Check this tire size calculator, and see if what size is ideal for you.

the first number of the tire...is it's width in mm
the second is a percent of the first so say you have 255/35's that means that the sidewall will be 35 percent of the width of the tire....45 will be too much tire....40 may be pushing it.....idealy u want 255/35/20's
