Tire experts, I have one for you.
A tire can be the same size, but sometimes look or be a lot wider, according to the brand. Is there a tire out there that consistently runs wider than others, in a given size? Plus, what is the largest/widest tire that can be run on 18 x 7 1/2 rims, 42 offset? Would they look ok on a FD?

I do think, thanks. Don't assume I'm putting them on my car. I was simply curious if anyone on here has ever run a weird size rim , such as that, on an FD. I have an additional set that I'm going to sell. I guess, to a ricer. I myself did upgrade, to RH C2s in 18 x 9. I haven't put them on yet because I'm dealing with a rebuild at the moment. Anyway, thanks for the info on the tires, though.

Thats cool, I'll be more specific in the future. I always appreciate the advice, no matter what. You, Rishie and quite a few others really know your stuff and didn't mean to come across as being a smart-*** or something.

Yoko AVS Sports seem to be wide for their nominal sizes. Toyo T1-S seem to be narrow for their nominal sizes, but they are light and seem to still offer excellent performance in comparisons with other tires of the same nominal size.
A general rule of thumb might be that tires with "square" profiles tend to be wider than tires with "round" profiles for a given size. This is no great revelation, but it might be useful for guessing based on appearance.
