widest tire on 7 in wheel
Hey everyone, Im gettin ready to purchase new tires for my car for autocrossing and so forth and I need to know what is the widest size I can put on a 7 inch wheel. I will be using my stock GTUs wheels and I am looking to get Yokohama ao32's either the 205/55r16 or the 225/50r16. I need to know if the 225/50's will work on these wheels. I know the 205s will, my street tires are 205. I searched for a while but couldnt find much of what I was looking for. Here is the link to the tires.

You didn't have to look too far.
Check out the specs .pdf
It specifies the 225 can be used on a 6.0-8.0in rim.

A 225/50 16 will fit acceptably well on a 16x7 rim, but it's not optimal (16x8 would be optimal). Mount them and have fun.
