depends on a number of factors but you have lots of flexibility if you're running stock suspension and not lowerings springs or coilovers.

basically it will fit however...i would be a little tentative on putting smaller width rims than stock...

Why go with the 7.5in width? Stay with 8in or go 8.5in, wider=better choices for wider tires, more tire-contact to the pavement.
