        225's on OEM R53 wheels? Nice. Are they 7.5" wide? 8"?

            @aperson Oh wow, I'm running 225/60's on an 8" and I've got quite a bit of bulk; I'm surprised a 225 with a lower profile ratio on a 7" isn't positively pouring over the lip.

              @aperson when I bought the wheels for my Camry, the ones I liked (the ones I bought) were a whole inch wider than the stock wheels. I accidentally made a great handling Camry. IMG_20191118_112637393_HDR~2.jpg

                The key is to go at least 20mm wider then recommended

                    I'm getting all the meat for the track/auto-x tires next year. Going to 255/40r18 on all 4 corners. It will be thick.

                        @the-crazy-kanuck My track tires are only 235/40, 255's should be an absolute riot.

                          @aperson The rules of STH state tires can be no more then 255 wide. So 255 it is.

                              @italianjobr53 dosent sound that crazy after looking at a calculator. 265 on an 8.5" appears to be a similar amount of excess, and in person it just looked squareScreenshot_20210110-052526_Chrome.jpg

                                @sony1492 315 look a bit too pinched IRL on a 10.5, could also be due to the weird side wall on then A052s
                                295 looks like it was meant to be

                                  Looks nice.

                                  225 is at the limit of what you should put on a 7" wide rim but it's still acceptable, it's for example what was used from factory on the A3 8L S-Line while the S3 wheels (what i have) are of 7.5" width (both in 225/45/17).

                                  It also depends on the height of the tire.
