Why does the Tayron have 235 tires on 7.0J rims?

[MacSavannah]

It might be due to incorrect tire model installation or the owner's specific request. In reality, 7.0J rims can only accommodate tires up to 225 in width. Tire and rim compatibility range: Tires generally have an applicable range for rims, meaning each tire size can fit rims with slightly varying widths. This is often explicitly noted in the tire tread manuals. Additionally, even with the same tire model, different brands may have different standard rim widths. Points to note when selecting rims and tires: For 17X7 rims, it's best to choose tires with a standard width of 7.0 for optimal performance. European car models typically have wider rims, while Japanese cars tend to have narrower ones. For example, 17x7 rims are not commonly found in original German car models. Japanese cars also rarely use 17x8 rims. It's crucial to note that mismatched rim and tire sizes beyond the permitted range can be extremely hazardous to the vehicle.
