Sorry about the dumb question, but it is time to get tires so i was curious has anyone fit 235 on a 7 inch wide tire or is 225 as far as i can go?

If tire rack sells the tire you are looking to mount on a 7in rim just select it anc check the specs of the tire. On the specs page they say the rim width required. If you cannot get an answer there go to a local tire retailer and talk to a sales person, they can sometimes be helpful.

I would recommend that you stick with a 225 to avoid excess sidewall flex and a bubbled appearance. 235's are a better fit for 7.5" or 8" wheels.

Hope that helps,

I have 235\45\17's on my 17x7 inch rims. I haven't noticed any bubbling or sidewall issues yet. *shrugs* Maybe I'll to take a closer look.
