    Looking at some European wheels,identified as 5J x 15 H2 .

    15 = 15" diameter at the bead.That's obvious.

    5J = 5" wide ?

    What is H2 ?


    These are spacesaver wheels,I want to use with regular tires.
    5" is ok for the front,probably want to stretch the rears wider.
    Any problems there ?

    Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure the letter tells you the shape of the lip that the Tire seals on.
    "J " being the most common one...

    You are totally right.

    J is for the shape of the inner wheel (number 2 on the pic)
    H2 is a code for the shape of the inner center of the wheel. (Number 4 on the pic) ;)
