Let's see if I understand this. I have wheels that are 18 by 7. Does this mean you would only use tires that are ~178 mm wide? e.g. 178/70 R18? Recommended by the manufacturer (Honda) for these wheels is 235/60 R18. Per Discount Tire, the narrowest I can fit is 225/65 R18. DT doesn't allow searching for all tires that fit 18" wheels.
