Default Profile view of rim and tire

Hi,
does anyone know a link where I can view the profile of different rim and tire width combinations (see pic below) ? I want to get an impression how a specific combination looks like before buying some rims and tires to prevent a surprise afterwards.
Regards, Andreas

btw: Merry Christmas to all !!

Hmm, it's a great site with interesting information for comparision, but I am missing the field to choose the rim width on which the tires are mounted I thought more about something like showing the sidewalls for different rim widths ....... I don't want my tires look like this

I can't understand why someone of the wheel and tire shops or manufacturers haven't set up such a tool until now.

i really can't see whats wrong about the above cars (VW)...I guess it all depends in taste and purpose... me, personally, i really don't like chrome and I like a more sporty look on my ride... here are some pics as an example of some ways you can set up wheels:

R 18x9.5 +37 Weds Novaris Style S

Happy new year to all

As you said, it all depends in taste and purpose, and this style is not my taste.
