i have another question. if the rims do fit, would i be able to put some 255 65 r16 tyres on them? (no they are not off road tyres, but they are all i have at the moment).
as you can probably guess, i am a bit of a gumby when it comes to tyres and rims.

not heard from you in a while ian.

I had my 255/85/16s on them. Same width, but a different profile clearly

It looks as though your 255/65/16 tyres will fit an 8j rim

255/65/16 from 7j to 8.5j

Too wide or too narrow - does it make a difference?

Given all the information above, you ought to know one last thing.A rim that is too narrow in relation to the tyre width will allow the tyre to distort excessively sideways under fast cornering. On the other hand, unduly wide rims on an ordinary car tend to give rather a harsh ride because the sidewalls have not got enough curvature to make them flex over bumps and potholes. That's why there is a range of rim sizes for each tyre size in my Rimwidthulator above. Put a 185/65R14 tyre on a rim narrower than 5inches or wider than 6.5inches and suffer the consequences.
