Default 235 or 225 on a 7.5 inch rim?

Anyone know if a 235 width tyre will fit on a 7.5" wide rim?

Looking for a new set of 18" wheels for my hawkeye STi and the Rota GRA's are only a 7.5" wide rim. Most places seems to supply a 225/40/18 tyre for this.

The Prodrive wheels are all 8" wide and supplied with a 235/40/18 tyre though...

Cheers

I'd of said 235 would be too wide on a 7.5" rim. I'm running 8.5" rims with 235s and they fit just about perfectly

I used to have 7.5" Prodrive P-WRC1 and ran 225s, now on 8" Speedlines with 235s.
