I knew I heard this somewhere before but I need to clarify. I got RSX 5-Spoke rims… I need to know what is the widest I can put on there… I wana say they are 7.5" or am I still thinking formula tires?
I thought a 225 would be safe… but wasn’t positive… anyone know?
i have 225’s on 7" wide rims on the 240 up front, and they fit without any problems. i also have 255 crammed onto the rears so u should be fine
rule of thumb is 70%. The rim size width doesn’t want to be any smaller than 70% of the tire width. I personnally try to shoot for over 80%.
Word. 225 is probably as big as you want to go without sacrificing performance on a 7" wide rim. I have 17x8 and 235/45/17. One thing to remember, get a general range of section widths because some tires are wider for 225 than others. For example:
Kumho Ecsta MX 235/45/17 section width is 9.4"
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 245/45/17 section width is 9.4"
So, some tires might fit on that rim and some not as well. WTF do they have standards for when they aren’t the same, I don’t know.
i put 245s on my 7.5" wheels…they were fine
