Default Has anyone got 225 section tyres on 7" wide rims?

I've got the 7x17 Prodrive wrc P1 wheel, and I need some new tyres.

I'd like to fit the 225/45/17 Ultrac Sessantsa, but 225 is on the limit of tyre width for a 7" rim.

Has anyone got any experience of this size combi?

Thanks.

Yep my mate KojaK did this with T1R's and he reckons it grips better in the wet !

He is a man of few words, so doubt he will turn up to tell you !

Toyo Tire

Toyo reccomend 7.0 to 8.5 rim for a 225/45/17 so it looks acceptable. Beware that acceptable rim size varies with profile as well as width.
