For 225s the recommended Rim width is 6 - 7.5"

My tibby has 14" Enkei Wheels and they're 14lbs each.


I was just going to post a comment on someone on the forums with 14lb wheels compared with the stock 19lb ones. But hey, that's you! I never really looked into how much the 17" Konig Tantrums weighed. Probably a lot.=X

I'm beginning to dislike big wheels. I read an article at some time or another how big wheels affect your performance -- had something to do with "static weight" and how it can put up to 800 lbs on your car, and slow your cornering down.

It's not only the weight of the wheel that comes into play, it's the larger diameter that can slow you down too.
