As the title says I am looking to see pics of a 7.5 wide wheel with 215 sized tires Please. I am asking because I am torn between 17x7 and 17x7.5 wheels. I wanted the Flik FTD flat black but they just discontinued them, so I have to get them in flat titanium or go to the Rota Attack in flat Black.
The flik is 7 inches and the Rota is 7.5 inches. I don't like the look of a stretched tire, I want it to look flush with the wheel. I know 7 inch will fit 215 perfect, I don't know how it would look on a 7.5 inch wide wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also does anyone have any experience with www.vividracing.com

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

wow. a 215 on a 7.5 would be less than a 1/4 inch stretch if even that. and each tire will sit different even if theyre teh same brand and width. the section width is different than the tread width. so each and every model , brand , genre of tire will look different. either more or less "flush"

 

It's going to look like a 205/40-17 tire mounted on a 17" x 7" wheel. Like what most Honda Civic owners will have. It's not that bad, but if you want it to be flushed or bulging out ever so slightly, then you'd best get the 7" width wheels for a 215 tire. I have 225/45-16 tires mounted on some 16" x 7.5" Rota Boost wheels for my Sentra & sometimes I think that it's not enough tire width & that I should try to find some 235/45-16 tires, but then no one makes that size. Do'h! (>o< )

 

I could go with a 225/40/17 or a 215/40/17 they are both very similar in height. The difference is .8 mph on the speedo. I am going to be ordering the Rota Attacks from vividracing and wanted to make sure I get a tire size that will fit well and not look like it was stretched. They are 17x7.5 with a 35mm offset in flat black. I think it will look nice on my PW box. I am also torn between Tein H-techs and TRD springs. So many options and .......
