5 is the width in inches measured across the inside surface where tyre bead seals --- ie the true width of the wheel.
J is the code letter for profile height of the lip of the bead --- J is the normal for passenger cars.
I haven't a clue what h2 is

The H2 informs you the wheel is designed for tyres with an H speed rating.
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

5jx15 is old VW beetle size isn't it?
5j (5 inch wide, j is the profile - j is standard afaik) and will safely accept tyre widths of 145 to 185
Looking for 165/65 R15 or 175/65 R15 on www.mytyres.co.uk (pick all for speed rating) finds plenty of alternatives in all price ranges, but any tyre
fitter should be able to get what you want.

Good lord, imagine trusting the information supplied on an alloy wheel suppliers website! Especially one that has the gall to include race in its
name!

Its 'help and advice from the experts' apparently!

that is true...we take this info and assume its gospel just because its on someones website.
i feel Raceandrally may have got things mixxed up with markings on the tyres for speed rating ( or who ever gave them info)..the carbible explanation
does seem plausable though.
