Website that shows how tire sizes look on wheels

There's a website that someone posted before that will show you the profile of a tire size mounted on any size rim would look. I can't remember the site for the life of me and I didn't bookmark it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Close! The one I'm talking about though has real images of the wheel so people can see the stretch/lip of the tire on the wheel. Really wish I bookmarked it

Keep in mind different tires stretch differently and some tires are taller than others. Before deciding on a tire, you can go on the manufacturer website and look at how many revolutions per mile they spin. If it's a smaller number, they're a bigger tire.
