re: My tire baws.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it. I realize that the middle number is width, I guess my question is whether the 1 inch is going to minimize the risk of rubbing that much, as opposed to a 12.5. What I was also trying to ask, incoherently I admit lol, is with a narrower tire is it going to create more or a bulging flat sidewall or a flatter (at least in appearance) smaller sidewall. In my head it seems like the wider it is, the more it will hang out from the rim and the narrower the more it would just push the center of the tread up. But I'm realizing with tires nothing is quite what it seems, to a layperson at least.
