my bro has a 95 240sx and he has 17x7 rims on his car, i know he shoulda got wider rims but he got them cheap.
my question is, how wide of a tire can he go on those size rims? Assume the offset is irrelavent for now.
Can he fit 225's on there?

Yes, he should be able to fit 225's with no problems. My stock tyres are 205's on a 6" rim... So with the extra 1" on the rim that should be fine.

first of all, on a 95 240sx he should have 17x9 Volks... second, I would suggest 215 would be plenty, but 225 shouldn't be a problem. I have 215 on my 7.5's and they're fine... and I believe I had 215's on my 17x7s and didn't have any problems.

225 should work, but might be a little too big for the wheel (appearance wise)

alot of cars come with a 225 width tire stock on a 6 inch wide rim. they will look fine on the 7 inch wide one. and he wont have any problems with that size on his 240, that car can swallow alot of rubber.

majik, yeea like i said he got them for cheap or else he woulda got some wide ass rims for his 240.


and yeea i'm running 215's on my 17x7 rims, just wondering if a step up would be possible on that size.

thanks

If he's worried about 225's on 7" wide rims don't
I knew a Tib with 225's on the stockies.

I don't recommend THAT extreme, but it can be done.
