    OK. sweet then the wheels will work, I just realy really like these wheels




    and I just wanted to make sure that the tires weren't going to be to wide and compromise sidewall integrity.

    i mean dont like come after me if they blow up or something i just know the stock 16x8s on 3000gt come with 225 and i ran them on 17x7 too with no problem, so they should work but if u are really worried id like talk to a tire guy or contact the tire company. nice rims by the way, what car are they going on?

    i've run 245's on a 16x8 wheel (z32) and currently running 215's on a 16 x 7" so really 225's on a 7.5 is the happy medium

    225 will work well on a 7.5, assuming overall diameter is bout right
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
