one thing i can say about 225. you will not get the tire warm enough in time for auto-x. it should get warm on a track after several laps. too much contact patch, too little weight to cause warming friction. i bought some 15x8.5 -30 wheels once, they came with 225 on them and they would just barely fit under the front fender. mind you i did flare the fender out like 20-30mm. but it was flush with no room to turn the wheel. oh yea and when i went to take the tire off the rim. it was pretty hard as the 225 kept wanting to expand on the 8.5 in rim. i cannot imagine fighting that much rubber on 7in rim. last thing. unless you have super negative offset wheels. the tires will rub your front shock housing.
