Do you mean so that your speedometer will still be accurate?
If so, it really depends on what kind of width you want in a tire.
The sidewall height is a percentage of the width, so its not as easy
as just telling you to stick with a 45 or 55, etc. sidewall, because
the actual height of the sidewall depends on the width of the tire.
I think the way that most people get tires is that they generally
have an idea of what kind of width they want, and then calculate
the sidewall they need based on that width and their rim size.
