9"Steels. What range of widths would they take?

Another one of those questions that is obvious to those of you that deal with it every day.

I measured the Rallyes the other night. And the width from lip to lip is 9 inches.

The tyres I had planned on fitting are 225/75-15's



So the question is, are they a bit narrow for the 9's or will they be fine, with minimal sidewall distortion?

I do not want to go too wide, as it looks great, but in my case would not add to performance in the real world (well, that's what I think)



These are the wheels, obviously.

So do I buy something wider, as I want close to 2" white walls or a bit more on my smoothies, or would transferring the 225's from the smoothies be doable?

Thanks for the advice, as always guys.

PS. I think I may have measured the outside of the lips, rather than the inside lip width, so could be on 8" wide Rallyes, again, you guys will know this more than me.
