How do you get a wider tire look??

How tire size do you get to make it look wider on a 7 inch wide wheel, lets say for 18's. I prefer a 7.5 or 8 inch but the wheel that I like does not come that wide. Is there tricks to the madness here??

Thanks.

Are you trying to make the wheels look wider, or are you looking for the wide tire look where the tire bulges?

I guess it simply consists of just ordering wider tires....you can fit a pretty wide tire on a 7 inch wide wheel depending on the offset. Just check the recommended wheel width for the tire and see what you can fit on a 7 inch wheel. 225 would probably be nice and wide
