as long as you run 205 width tyres you should be fine, 215s will be a squeeze.

I run 7.5 inch wide wheels at 32 offset and they're fine 8)

185s will give you a little stretch. 7.5" is about 190mm so this will definitely stretch but it won't be ridiculous.

often if a wheel is 7.5" wide it'll actually be wider than that in reality.
