Alright, I'll let him know. He was asking me because I had 245s on my 14x6 Mopar Rallye wheels when I had my charger, and 235s on my mustang with 15x6.5 wheels.

Basically, it's the difference between what you can, and what you should put on a wheel that narrow. For a straight-line car, you can go wider, as a soft sidewall is good for drag racing and such, and those cars also had a much, much taller sidewall, so more room to flex. However, when it comes to going around corners and using a lower profile tire, you don't want to pull the sidewalls in that much, as they won't be as stiff.
