Default The problem will be that the rims will stick out further than the tire itself.

If you look at the recommendations on the wheel width for that tire I bet you will find they suggest 7".

P.S. It sounds like you are putting snows on your Arvus rims. You should really go with 225/45/17s. If you have lots of snow - then chose a tire with good snow traction and not one that compromises for performance driving.

Default Depends on the tire brand...

I have 205/55/16 SP8000s on 16x7.5 and there's plenty of rim protection. Some brands run wider than others in the same size. Bridgestone seems to run a little narrower and Dunlop & Yokos run a bit wider.
