+1.5% difference is fine.

3% is the rule of thumb..

width x aspec ratio x 2 divided 25.4 + diameter = OD"

I used that website as well but it isn't the best, there's actually a better one out there but i forgot what it was.

for instance my situation.
Stocks 195/60/15
Aftermarket is 235/40/17
Now on the website it says that the difference in diameter is only 1/4 of an inch.

Problem is my wheels are 9" wide and a 235 is is for a 8" so it's a bit of a stretch even so, when i line up the wheels the aftermarkets are much larger.

but it's a good tool just for general use.
