I'm more concerned with the performance of a tire that is possibly too wide for the rim, if the sidewall performance goes to hell or something. I don't want to handicap myself with a heavier, poorer-performing tire size.
If I can jam 255 Falkens on 8" wide wheels w/o any issues, some 225's on a 7" wide rim should be fine.
