Will a 700 tire fit a 27 inch rim?
27-inch and 700C tires are close enough in size that the inner tubes are compatible; i.e. you can use a 27-inch inner tube in a 700C tire, and vice-versa. However, you can NOT use a 27-inch tire on a 700C wheel, and vice-versa.
Can I put 700C tires on a 27.5 inch bike?
No, a 28″ tire is 700c generally, but a 27″ tire will not fit. Tubes, on the other hand, will work just fine. Show activity on this post. 700 c tire will is too small to put on 27″ rim
Will a 700C tube fit a 27?
Yep, a standard 700C tube will fit a 27″ tire (and most tube boxes bear multiple markings to indicate this). Just convert the inch width to mm to get the width of the 700C tube, if the box doesn’t say the inch size.

Can you replace 27 inch wheels with 700C?
A 27 inch wheel has an O/D of 27 inches. If things are a bit tight you cannot replace a 27 inch with a 700C especially if using larger sized tyres i.e. 38-700 or even 35-700, I know as I have recently tried it. You could probably get away with a small tyre such as 25- or 28-700 but may have to use longer brake arms.
