16" tires on 7" wheel?
Hi guys, I have a question regarding the fitment of tires on a wheel. I'm wondering if 195 wide tires would be able to fit on a 7" wide wheel. I know 205 and 215 would fit, but would 195 be too narrow to fit on a 7" wheel?

Thanks a lot guys.

195 will work, it's measured for 6" rim, but approved for 5.50"-7.00"

i'm using 195 on my 6.5" wide rims... i think tires look better when they dont come way over the rim anyways

Too tall... I wouldn't recommend that size... you'd be increasing overall diameter by 1.7" over stock
