flash42 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 looking to get some new tyres soon, and settled on the above size, but being a student, i cant afford to get the rims as well at the same time. so i was wondering if it is possible to fit the tyres on a 7x16 inch rim. cheers flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 No - 15 inch tyres will not fit on a 16 inch rim full stop! The equivalent size (i.e. width and height of tyre) for a 16in rim is 305/70R16 but these are really too wide for a 7x16 rim, you would need at least an 8 inch wide rim and most manufacturers specify minimum 8.5in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 As BM says 15" tyre will only fit a 15" rim the 15 of the R15 bit refers to the rim size. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
