Will a 205 tire fit on a 7.5" wide wheel? Will it look normal or all stretched and distorted. Any info. would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.

for some reason think your wheels are either 5.5" or 6.5" wide Ryan.

I run 205s on my 6.5" wheels with no problems at all

I'm running 205/40-16's on 7.5" rims. If a better pic doesn't come up by the end of the day, I'll post some when I get a camera in my hands.

so i could run 205/50/15 on a 6.5 inch rim on my ef sedan with no issues?????

205 will fit on a 6.5/7.0/7.5 So pick your poison...

205/45/17's looked too narrow for the 17x7.5's on my old teg...

 

[BLK92_D16]

^Yeah, they'll look that way. But why else get the larger width and not run a wider tire? I think 7.0 is perfect, thus my purchase of 4 14" used Diamond racing rims.

Here's what 205/40-R16's look on a 7.5" rim:

I think a wider tire may scrub my inner wheel well, but I'm not too sure.

I like this look - only problem is: you've got curb rash a lot easier when parking.

Please - no comments on the wheel to fender gap - I'm working on it. If only those Pro-Dampers would come in!!! :sadface:
