I have a good line on some SWEET meats for dirt cheap. Can I put 225's on a 7inch wide rim without suffering any handling problems? I did the math and the tire is 1.8 inches wider than the rim so I'm thinkin it should work ok and not be too noticeably oversized. I'm most concerned with how it would handle and then with how it would look. Any thoughts?

I'm assuming that would be a 50 or 55 series tire, if so it would be a perfect fit for a 16x7 rim, a 45 series tire would also work but the tread section is a little smaller by .3, not the end of the world, they should work just fine.
