They should fit fine, here's a table of recommended rim sizes for different tyre widths:

I'm running 205 70 15s on 7x15 rims and there is a fair amount of room. I was going to go to 75s, I had measured up and expected them to be fine and don;t forget many use that size on regular rims but these tyres came up at a bargain price.

Thank you

If your fitting the tyres to the wheels yourself, be prepared for a fight.

I did mine and the wheels are far to wide in my opinion, I had to put the tyre on the wheel then balance the tyre between two wheels and jump up and down on the wheel to push most of one bead on, then turn it over and push the wheel through whilst putting air in it.

Just fitted this size on my Jimny and they are great, No problem fitting them (plenty of lube!!!) and no rubbing with no mods!
