Well that's a start even though it's a 22" tyre, but I doubt there's anything much narrower like the 195/20s, 205/15s or 235/15/20s made as the almightybmw implied with his sneering attitude, as the sidewalls would be so small that a) they'd be a real pain to fit to the wheels (my tyre fitters struggle with my 215/35s) and b) any hard cornering and the wheel could probably rub on the road due to tyrewall flex.

I could run a 195/20R20. 205/15R20 puts me a hair slower...ah! 235/15R20 is the perfect fit. Now, if only I could make a 235 fit in the wheelwell where a 205 rubs....

thank you for the entertainment, I'm now going to try and find a 20" rim that's 6.5" wide
If you want 6.5x20rims, custom build will be the most likely option.

mind you, when I first started modding cars, the only place you could find 20" wheels was on a lorry. (semi/big rig or whatever they are called in the USA)
