Anyone know what the 7 in 17"x7 is???

Hey guys, gonna purchase some rims soon and was wondering if anyone knows what 7 is in 17"x7. I've also seen 17"x7.5, just wondering what this number is?

Thanks,

Close. That's the width of the tire (in mm).

Yeah.. both 205 & 215 will fit on the 7" width. But if you want that FAT look, you wanna increase the width... except you really shouldn't on the Civic. Stick with the 7"..

7 is the width of the actual rim. 205 or whatever is the width at the top of the tire. In general, the higher the number, the more square the tire.
