When the diameter of the wheel is increased, the aspect ratio of the tire is reduced. The aspect ratio is a number that describes the height of the tire's sidewall relative to the width of the tire.
The goal is to end up with the outer diameter of the tire being the same as what it came with from the factory regardless of what diameter rim you put on the car.
