7.5 rim is o.k. from 215 to 235 if you want to try...
dunx
P.S. A wider tyre is better suited to a wider rim, 235 on an eight inch rim on mine...

Too wide a tyre and the sidewalls are tucked in...
Too narrow and they are stretched, and mine wore abnormally too !
In my experience. I killed a set of 215's on my 8" rims in less than a year (6000 miles)

I have mate
But I have another two sets of alloys to use as well (3 in total). So was wanting the 18's for show, and the 17's for go (on track).
Ideally I would like wider wheels, but I got both sets at a good price so couldn't turn them down. May sell the 17's though and get wider ones.
