rim size for 205x16

Jan 18, 2006 2 Replies

I've acquired a set of four new wheels and new tyres at the best possible price (!)...



The tyres are 205 wide. The wheels are 7J and look a bit wide for the tyre. Are they too big or will they fit OK?


Michelin list the acceptable rim width range for a 205R16 as being 5 to

7 inches. 7J is the width of the standard RRC alloys (NTC1346 etc) which take 205R16s.

ditto steel wheels on the disco - and yes, the tyres look too narrow, but they do fit.
