> Hoosier Wets - Wide Rims or Narrow Rims, Is it better to use narrow or wide rims with wet tires?

I was just given some usable Hoosier Wet Radials in 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 sizes.

I have the following two sets of wheels to mount these tires:

Fachs - 16x7 front, 16x8 rear

BBS 16x8 front, Compomotive 16x9 rear

I have never run Hoosier Wet Radials. They seem to be quite wide for the stated size.

Should I mount the Hoosiers on the 16x7/8 or 16x8/9 wheels?

My teener is a 1971 914-6 conversion (3.2) with flares at about 2050 lbs.

For dry tires I run Toyo RA1 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 on BBS E50 16x8 & 16x9 wheels.

Thanks

Eddie
