width is always narrower than the section width though by how much
varies
brand to brand. Most manufacturers recommend that the section width
does not
exceed the wheel rim width by more than two (2) inches or 50mm.

Just doing a little math,
the thread width of 255 would be 255/25.4 = 10"A (25.4mm per inch) the
diameter would be the thread width X aspect X 2 + rim = 10 X 0.50 X 2
+15 = 25"
Thus the 10" tread on a 7" rim would be too much, but the 25" is close
to
the original 25.2"
my notes imply a 215 on the front might rub

David,
255/50?A I know of nobody making such tires and if they did, they
would be
WAY too tall.
I'm assuming you made a typo and meant 225/50?A Those would fit
perfectly.
Although they might be a bit happier on 8-inch wheels in the front,
they
should work fine on 7-inch wheels.
Cheers!
