Decided to go with black Rota Slipstreams (AKA these wheels minus $2000) My current tires are the same diameter, but they’re 185s. Without looking like a stancebro, will they fit on a 6.5" wide wheel?

I have 205's on 7's on my rear wheels for race. I would say not a problem...

Ps, my race fronts are Rota 8" with 225 Hoosiers. . No problem with them over 3 seasons....

1 85 on a 6.5" wheel should be fine. It might have a slight amount of stretch, but it shouldn’t be particularly noticeable.

There might be a faint stretch but certainly not stance-bro levels.  I’m running 195 tires on a 6.5 wheel and there’s still poke.

Too narrow imo I'd do 195 , but I also think 225 is barely wide enough for an 8 and more appropriate for a 7
