Hi tiFreak, Mallard,

Why is 235 mm too wide for a 7" rim? According to tirerack, one could put a 235/60/15 tire on rim with width in the range 6.0"-8.0". Refer to the following example for a Pirelli P600 tire:

I really like the light, stock rims and I just want to see if I can install wider tires...

Thanks,

Humberto-
