Inch sizes are tricky. There is often several non-interchangeable ones lurking under the same - or very similar - designations.
It’s safer if you can find the ISO/ETRTO millimeter size.
You HAVE to match the Bead Seat Diameter - where rim and tire overlap.
20x1 3/8” comes up as a BSD of 451 mm, while a 20x1.75” is likely to be a
406 mm BSD.
There may be others.
