Tyre width on Fuchs
 
Hi, I'm looking to change the rears on my 1983 911sc soon, the current width is 225 and the rims are 7" wide, is it possible to fit a wider tyre to this rim and what would the limit be?

cheers

225 is about as wide as you want to go on a 7" wheel.

Any more and the sidewalls are pinched too far, and handling and wear suffer.

To go any wider , I think you would need at least an 8" , I have 245 / 45 on my 8's and they fit fine, 7's up front with 225/50(rolled fenders)
regards, Peter

Toyo tires has a pretty good spec sheet that tells you what size tire can fit on a range of sizes of rims.
