Will 255 size tires fit on 7" rims?

Will 255 size tires fit on 7" rims? Also, will 225 size tires fit on 7" rims? The rims are the stock chevy rally wheels for a 3rd gen Camaro.

Thanks.

Most manufacturers recommend a wheel width of 7.0" to 9.0" for a 255/50-16. A 225/55-16 will fit on a 7.0" to 8.5" wide wheel.

Once you pick a specific tire size, go to the online sources (check the board sponsors) and look at what that manufacturer recommends for the exact tire you have selected.

Thank you. I'm going to run 255/60R15 in the rear of my car and 225/60R15 on the front of my car. I'll check out some sources like you mentioned.
