What kind of car?

Decide on the tire size first, and then on the best wheel width to fit.

BTW, you might get more experienced replies in the Drag Racing Forum...

Re: 15 x 6.5 or 15 X 7 (nsxtasy)

its a 93 civic, i only have a few good wheel options, due to the 96 type r suspension/brakes on the car I am stuck with 4x114.3

the tires available in 15 are 205/50/15, 215/50/15, 225/50/15
the wheels are 15x6.5 and 15x7

so, could i run a 225/50/15 on a 15x7 ? or should i go with the 215/50/15

225s will be fine on a 7" wide wheel.
