honestly im not sure, i havent played with tire sizes alot, when you look at the tire info tho it should tell you what range of size wheels they fit, at least thats how it is when ive bought drag slicks...

7.5" would be ideal for a 225. You can put a wide tire on a skinny rim but the sidewall will roll in cornering, making the handling sloppy.

Plan on rolling & pulling your fenders and going low enough to get some good negative camber. It really depends on the offset & tire size though. What rims do you have in mind?
