Sorry for the stupid question, but I want to make sure. I have 225 70 R14 tires on my car already, and I want to make sure that 14x7 rims will also work with the tires I have. I know that the 14 means the rims are the right size, but I don't know what the 7 stands for.

I have learned that if I don't ask the stupid questions, I end up looking Stupid!

Thanks

14 is the diameter of the wheel and the 7 is the width.

I should also add that I have a 68 chevelle SS396 that I want to put these rims and tires on.

HOV. You can fit up to a 255/60 on a 7" wheel with no problems. BTW 215/70/14 on a 6" wheel was stock om a 68SS.
