yes.  rim should be at least 85% of the tire tread width for the best 
performance.  6" =~ 150 mm.  for 225's you need at least 191 mm of rim (more 
than ~7.6")...or so i read in a GRM article a few months back.
s
67.5 H20 w/ 205/60 - 15s on 15x6 swastika rims from a 280 zx turbo.  i think 
i should have went with the 195s after noting the above.
