back from my mechanic and they couldn't install my snow tires on the factory
rims because the rims were to wide. The tires are rated for 7.5" rims
(widest) and I wouldn't think that extra 1/2" would make that much
difference.>>>

Personally Chuck, I follow those ratings. 8" wide is pretty rough for a 225
tire. How about a 235/75?
