225's on a DC5R 16x6.5' wheel?

Whats everyone's thought on this.. Too wide?

BTW, it will be a semi slick, soa much stiffer sidewall.

Maybe not too wide, but probably wider than ideal. Doubt it would be noticeably faster than a 205, which is already too wide for a 6.5" wheel in my opinion. I wouldn't mount a 225 tyre on anything narrower than an 8" wheel if I could help it, but I am weird like that.

that's not weird at all.

225 is normally standard on a 7.5" wheel. on a 6.5" it's too wide IMO.

[tinkerbell]

which tyre might help?

semi's have several design attributes that are relevant to choosing rim width...

The tyres im possibly looking at are re55s.

Atm im looking at 7,7.5,8" wheels. I just wanted to know eeveryone's take on fitting 225semis onto a 6.5" wheels. The 6.5" is last resort. I mean stock tyres on dc5r are 205 /55 but im also looking at semi's which are indeed stiffer but i think it is too wide. We'll what i can come up with.
