Just because a Rim is capable of holding a certain width, does mean it is feasible. I run 16x7 rims and only a 205 tire. I could run a 225 if I wanted, but for cornering ability the 205 is a perfect fit. If you fully inflated 225 on a 7" rim the usable tread patch is not the full 225 because the tire flexes a bit so the bead will seat properly.

Just because a 225 or 235 fits on a narrower rim does not mean you are using all of the tread.
