Rim Width question.

**GP38** · 10-11-2012

For tire size 225/60/16

what is the best rim width? ex 6" 6.5" 7" 7.5"

Thanks.

You can even have 8" wide.

but what would be the ideal size?

**matt5112** · 10-11-2012

6.5-7 is nice.

Also happens to be what stock wheels are.

I like 8" wide myself. Its the perfect width for a 225 without it bulging out the sides.

8-8.5 is what I like depending on offset. I had +30 19x8.5s on a 225 tire and it looked great.

Did you guys read that the OP is inquiring about 225/60R16 which has a natural "wheel size" of 6.5"?

Whoops. Read replies lol. Yea with that side wall 6.5-7.5. 7.5 would look odd though.

Non Turbo 3000GT and Stealth's come from the factory with 225/55/16 and an 8" wide wheel.

If we had shorter sidewalls i would suggest wider wheels.
