Why the arithmetic is on the page
Every tool publishes the expressions it evaluates. If you would rather check a result by hand, or explain it to someone at a parts counter, the working is there to follow rather than something to take on trust.
Tire figures are calculated from the size marked on the sidewall. Real tires vary from nominal by a few millimetres between manufacturers, and more as tread wears. These numbers plan a job; a tape measure finishes it.
Plan with these, verify on the vehicle.Calculated clearance is not measured clearance. Before committing to a tight fitment, check the actual gaps at full steering lock and full suspension compression, and confirm load ratings against the vehicle's own tire placard.
