7.0" wide would fit best. They would fit on the a 7.5" wide as well though. It's really up to you.

It depends on the tire...

tirerack has a good fitment guide where you can look at the tire and the rim widths it will fit on.

I would go with the 7.5 if I had no other information to base this on.

would measuring the space between the tire bead be useful at all? i know when i set the tire, it pops into place, but i wouldnt think it would stretch to much.

because when im lookin at wheels and tires on wheelmax, the wheels im picking (excel ennios) are paired up with a 215/45 i really want to use these tires so i didnt keep them in my room for two months for nothing... haha i guess i can just buy the wheels and try it...

and darkstars, will 17x8's fit without sticking out?

the ennios are 17x7 with a 35mm offset, and i wouldnt mind them to be flush with the bodyline or a hair out.
