a 195 tire on a 45 mm offset is 97.5 - 45 = 52mm. There's your 1/4" difference. Its not the wheel but the tire position that matters. The wheel and tire centerlines are set by the offset.
BTW A 205 tire on 42 yields 60.5. On 45 its 57.5. 205 on 39 is 63.5 mm and it rubs unless the tire is significantly smaller diameter than 23.4".

The blanket statement covers the widest tires on the widest known rims, aka '7', knowing anything less will fit too.

Ok i see what your saying, but i think it would be very close to fitting with a 205, the tire type also has a play in it with how wide or square the tread blocks are etc. With camber i think a 205 would be fine.


About that lip like others said, NO WAY would that fit.
