If you can get 7.5 s all well and good. 8" will stretch the tyre wall giving less flex in bends causing skittishness.

I have 18" wheels on my classic. My offset is 50 and my wheels are 18 x 8J. Tyres are 225/40 x 18.
The only problem I had was my very tired old suspension. It caused a slight rubbing at one of the rear arches during heavy bumps or high speed right turns. It's now been sorted with a set of coilover suspenders.
