according to that caculator you can run a 255 50 15 on a 7 inch rim...  would have some serious bulge, i thought i was pushing it with 225's!

There's a lot of good info at the wheel and tyre bible although Chris has changed the style
of the text when he last updated the pages and it grates a little.

I was suprised what you could fit on a 7" rim Antnicuk, I think its just a guide whats the max and min you can get away with,what the handling
would be like with 255's on a 7" rim would be another thing. I had 225 50 15 R888's on a 7" rim on the rear of my Indy,the tyres
looked fine,and it handled great,here's a picture of them on the rim.
