Reply to "Proper size wheel for a given tire width"

Meanwhile, on the European GTS Panteras, DeTomaso moved the 15 x 8 wheels to the front and mounted sensible 225/50R15 Pirelli P7's on them. The 285 section P7's on the rear of the European GTS were mounted on 10" wide wheels.

That is exactly what I have on the car now nad it fits great without ever rubbing. But these tires are getting kinda old and my wife won't let me take long trips on them anymore. SO I haveto get new tires anyway and I like the look of my ultras a lot better than the campis, yeah I know personal problem, so I wanted to see if I could put slightly narrower tires on them. Looks like I have to know how wide my ultras are before I can select tires, which means I have to take the old tires off first, which means I may not be able to go any narrower, which means I just spent the money to break down the tires and still have to do it all over again with my campis.
