[Shotimes] Tire/rim width

[Robert M.]

My 93 SHO has the stock slicers on it with 225/60-15 Michelin Symmetry tires on them. The tire bulges out from the wheel a little bit, but I like a little bit wider tire than the wheel, because in my opinion, too narrow of tire on a wheel looks like if you go around a turn too fast, the tire would run off the wheel.

should be the same as or slightly narrower than the rim, certainly no more 
than an inch wider than the rim. The 225/55's don't look bad on the stock 
rim, but look like they want a wider rim.

>225/55/16s on a 16x8" rim, and it's all the tire that the SHO needs.
