I agree with Kimber, The Diameter needs to match the original wheel, the width of the tyre isn't that important though!

Just a thought, It may be easier to have a spare wheel to use for your trainer, it's far quicker to change and the condition of the wheel doesn't really matter. As long as it spins freely, the spare wheel needn't be the same size as the original either!

Hope this helps.
