The ?? numbers detrmine the height of the tire. 195=WIDTH of tire drr. Yes there is a small difference, I switched from 195/55/15 to 205/55/15 and the 205 is a tiny bit taller.

The middle # is the height or aspect ratio of the tire.

ive somewhat grasped it, the bigger the first number, the taller they are, which in turn will give me less gap right? so going from a 175 to a 205 would decrease the gap by a lot

205 / 55 / 14 for example

first number = width, doesn't really determine height of wheel at all
second number = profile, the actual height of tire
third number = size rim it fits
