225's will fit just fine on the 7.5.They wont have that "stretched" look thats such a fad now a days. (I'm not a fan of putting skinny tires on wider wheels) the 225's are a lot cheaper than the 205's in that link. If you keep 225's all around you can rotate them then.

Also, if your looking for an all season tire, might as well skip my recommendation. it's a summer tire only.

but hey, I will actually be selling my tires in a month or so to if you want some used ones I've got to get the latest and greatest.

Yeah that link is a really kick a** deal on some really kick a** tires. one of the best street tires out there.

225 will be square on 8

225 will work on 7 as well. you can also run 225 on stock 6.5in wide s14 wheels if you wanted (for ultimate curb rash resistance!)

225 is a popular width because it's the max width in popular street tire classes for autocross.
