After finishing the rear sprocket and hub I moved onto the rim and tire. The dimensions of the tires are important in making sure the tires don't interfere with the frame (in width)allowing the wheel to rotate freely, similarly the height of the tire is important in ensuring to ensure vertical movement (in conjunction with swing arm) will not clash with frame.
This process involved creating an accurate profile for the rim and revolving it 360 degrees.

Similarly I was able to make the tire. I made a profile as a rectangle of tire thickness and width, revolved it 360 degrees and created a a 3-sided full round fillet to create the shape of the tire.
