hot_wire Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Just bought a set of Hoosier slicks 225/55/15. Now I'm looking for a cheap set of rims. What's the minimum rim width that I could run those tires on. Could I get away with a set of 15x6.5? The tires have a fairly tall sidewall... Any tire shop workers with advice for me? Thx in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 6" rim width will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 you always want the rim 1 inch wider with slicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 you always want the rim 1 inch wider with slicks. So does this mean that I need a 7-9" rim? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 8" thread = 9" rim for a good working foot print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
