Need to know what the rim width range is for 175/55 tires.

Thanks

i believe it's 4.5 - 6". i've seen people run them on stock wheels and 5.5 aftermarket wheels a good bit with zero problems...ken....

According to the ideal rim width calculator on this site

http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg2.html

it is from 5 to 6.5

but I bet a good tire shop could squeeze em onto stock 4.5 wheels

Not real worried about getting them on more worried about them coming off on a hard turn.
