Making sense of this all
I'm sooo confused when I read all these different things.
i.e.:
225-35-20
offset
to roll/trim fenders
etc
I'm just so lost and I'm just trying to understand and learn.
Can someone PLEASE help me out?!

Here is how it breaks down. 1st #, 235 is the width in millimeters. 2nd #, 35 is the percentage of side wall. Let me explain: 35% of the width of the tire which was the 1st #, will be the height of the sidewall. And last is the wheel size 20". Hope this helps

Offset/Backspace is the amount of the wheel that is behind the wheel hub. Check out this link https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html#backspace
