Thanks IRPT. So no problem with the rims. Cool.

Just curious, I got the part about tires having a range for rim width but I don't get why the tire would not be as tall if I went with a 7" rim. Could elaborate?

Thanks again.
If I may...

It's cuz you're having to stretch the tire wider over the width of the rim, so the rubber's gotta go somewhere, you know? It just goes into the "new" width instead of the "old" height.
