How wide are GSL-SE rims?

How wide are the GSL-SE rims? I know the 14" bbs wheels are 5.5 inches wide, and so are the 14" 86 wheels. Has anyone fit 225's on any of these wheels?

215 is the widest all arround.

You can put 225 in the back, for the front, you need to move the tires outside.

There is no point at all to put 225 on a 5.5 rim. The only effect is excessive tire wear. Ask a GOOD tire shop, and they will tell explain it for you.

The only point is, I spent 750 on my hoosiers, then decided I didn't need them, and everyone lowballs me ( i offered 500 shipped and the best offer i got was 4 for the price of one), and I want to put them to good use without buying another set of rims.
