Bill is close, but B and N actually refer to Bell (or Brake Clearance if it is easier to remember) and Nose. B is the inner half, N is the outer half. Therefore 2B/4N would be a 6" wheel with a 2" outer half, 4" inner (brake clearance) half. The Douglas Wheel website has a good explaination (maybe even some pictures).
