Don't take my word on this, but I think 7.5" is too wide for a 205.

Re: rota subzreo rims
I would tend to agree,m I have 205's on my 15*6.5 wheels so i woulkd not think they would fit on a wheel 1 inch wider... Or at the very least i would go with wider tires simply for the handling benifit to the larger contact patch.

Re: rota subzreo rims
On another note I think with most Honda's anything over 17x7 and you start risking some rubbing on wheel wells and fenders and such.

Tires CAN be stretched, I know people with 16x8 wheels and 205 width tires, then again they are drifters so that works for that sort of driving. On the daily drive, you DON'T want stretched tires. For one your rims are at high risk of being damaged and worse yet, curbed. I have 16x7J wheels on my Civic with 215/45 16 Azenis Sports tires all around. When my front wheels are at a full lock turn, the tires rub the inside of the wheel wells. This applies to most hondas (except Prelude and S2000) If you go 7.5 width or more, you're gonna need some spacers to make sure they clear everything and don't rub.
