Okay Im looking to get some new rims and tires for my 240. I was going to get 16x7 rims with a +40 offset and run 225's all around. I've asked people on this board and asked places that sell wheels if a 225 tire is too wide for the 7" rim. Do any of you guys have any pics that you could post of a 225 tire on a 7" rim? Some people say the tire will come over the edge of the rim, some say it will be okay, some say there will be just a minor bulge, I really can't draw any conclusions...

Thanks for all your help guys, you're a great resource.
