Default tire to rim fitment question

im a little confused. Will a 195 series tire fit on a 7" wide rim. i forget how wide my current rim is, but i know it has a 195 series tire on it. the tire is "flush with the rim." like the tire doesnt bulge over the rim or look "meaty" nor is it super stretched like a vw.

so all in all does the 195 series tire look flush on a 7" rim?

It depends on the specific tire and its size. Tire manufacturers publish specs which include the range of rim widths on which each of their tires can be mounted. You can look up these specs on the manufacturers' websites or on the website of a tire dealer like the Tire Rack.

My Azeni RT-615s look perfect on my 15x7 Work Equips. They are 205/50/15 and are just right size-wise.

The Azenis is well-known for being larger than other tires labeled as the same size.
