If my tires are 205/40-16, what would my rim width have to be? trying to see if something will work on my truck

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY... ( a canadian might be able to help me out here as well)
1" = 25.4 millimeters.
the 205 stands for 205 millimeters
the 40 stands for the aspect ratio of the sidewall to the actual tread width. basically its 40% of 205mm.
that equals 82mm (10% of 205 is 20.5 x 4 = 82.0mm)
so if 205 / 25.4 = 8.07" so you could fit that particular tire on a 7.0"-8.0" wheel. preferably put it on a 7.0-7.5" wheel. if you have an 8" wheel i'd run a 215/40/16 im my opinion.
let me know if you need anymore help.

205 usually is on a 5.5 - 6.5" wide wheel coming from the factory. Usually they're on 5.5-6" but there's a few out there that put em on 6.5.

i have 15x8 now. i am sure they won't do what i am thinking. a guy on ebay has the exact same wheels, but his are 16's, but didn't give the width. was just wondering!
