Lightbulb tire equation

width times % profile, times 2, divided by 25.4, plus wheel diameter. tire width in inches: width divided by 25.4. ex. (225x60%x2)/25.4+16. if you're using the same wheel, then just width times profile and then divide by another profile will give you same height with different width. 60% or .60 is the same.

You can plug in different sizes at the top to compare diameters, tread width, and speedometer difference. They wont help you too much on fender clearances, but you can get a good idea what might fit when changing rim and/or tire sizes.
