Hi Jerry,
What happenned? The one worlders are taking us metric. Only Goodyear (and they are hurting) is a homegrown tire manufacturer, most American tire companies are actually owned by the frogs, Michelin, or japan, Bridgestone/Firestone, so as a consequence tire sizes have been slowly going metric for 20 years. Interestingly, the rim size is still in inches (but probably not for long).
Lastly, 16, 17 & 18 DOES affect the overall size, IF you are comparing the same size aspect ration on the same width tire, if you where comparing three 295/75 tires which happened to have 16,17,or 18 wheels, THEN the wheel diameter would be the factor in determining the largest tire diameter size.
