A good start is Tire Rack's Tire Tech and the first thing that you should familiarrize yourself with is this page on Tire Rack's site.

Have fun and read up! Learning is cool when you apply it to you car!
Add this calculator to your stickies to figure out wtf is going on with different tire sizes:

and another just for kicks;

You're looking for overall outer diameter when plus sizing besides width and offset and if it will actually fit in your wheel well.
