Question about tire size

[Pienstars]

It's time for new tires and I might be able to get a decent deal on a set, however I'm unsure if the size will work well. I'm currently running 225/40/18 on my REV model 2's. I think the wheel width is 7.5 I'm looking at a set of tires but they are 215/40/18's. Is anyone running this size and if so, do they fit ok? Do they look ok on a 7.5 wheel or will they be stretched too far? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just barely stretched. Generally, wheel widths are understated by about an inch. So let's say it's 8.5" wide. A 215mm tire is about 8.45" wide. You generally want a tire a little wider than the wheel but it's not that big if a deal in your case.

That's what it would look like. Google does wonders, I searched (215 tire 7.5") and came up with pictures of 215/40-18 with 7.5" wide rims :laugh:
