Hi I have just purchased some new wheels and they are 7" for the front and 8" wide on the rears, would 195's front and 205's on
the rear be ok as I need to buy the tyres soon
thanks
Depends on the tyres, different manufacturers recommend different rim widths.
I would say 205 front and 215 back on those width rims...
Thanks for that.
Which tyres are you looking at specifically? You can find out most max, min, and optimum rim widths for each size of tyre.
R888 guide can found here for example:

I have purchased some Comomotive MLs and have been looking at the Toyo T1Rs but its difficult to find the right width for the rims 195/55/15 go to
7" rims but the 205/55/15 only go to a 7.5"rim unless i go down to a 50 profile.
any suggestions
I've got 17" Compomotives in those sizes and run 205/40 front and 245/40 rear. The fronts could be a bit wider but the 205s give a really good turn in.
