Operation: How to read the parameters on the rims

At first sight mysterious numbers are indicated on the rims of the wheels: let's see what they mean. In the video example, 7.5J is the width of the rim in inches. 16 H2 is the rim diameter always expressed in inches, while ET35 is the shoulder. This time the measurement is expressed in millimeters. J- which we saw next to 7.5 is the rim flange profile, while H2, next to 16 is the cross profile type. The most popular profile in the flange is just the "J" profile, the one in the example. The cambers of the rim are those, marked in the example, with "H2", and are used to give greater rigidity to the tyre. In fact, to fit "runflat" tires you need a particular type of rim with "EH2+" camber. Then there are the profiles dedicated to agricultural machinery and heavy vehicles.
