How do you mean "the rim is too big"??
Is the rim diameter (height) too big to get the tyre bead onto (tyre too tight)?
Or is the rim cross-section (width) too wide to keep the tyre seated securely (tyre too slack)?
Do you have the larger diameter rims run on junior "mini" type race bikes?
They used skinny tyres. Usually called inch+1/8 or inch+3/8 in the UK. No idea what you'd call them in metric.
These are "labelled" as 20 inch, but are taller than standard 20 inch BMX sizing.
But not as tall as 24 inch cruiser.
Your best bet is to find a ETRTO number on the tyre to find the exact size.
As usual, see Sheldon (R.I.P.)

Thanks for that.
The rim's too big in diameter,its a 24" too,which I should have said.
It's an old titanium race bike,with 24" wheels.
I'll see how I get on with those links you've given me.
