Default Tyres to fit 7.5j wheels

I've been reccomended 205/45/16 for my azev a's will this do? Will 195's fit on however? and is that profile too low?

they will fit but will be stretched. i'd go for 215's on mine as i like the tyres coming over the rim. 205s will sit flush.

No, You can put a 185 on a 10J so 205 on a 7.5j is streched at all really.
