165 on a 7.5 will give a bigggg stretch if your after something a bit more useable I did 195 40 on my Ronals there 7.5 nice stretch and the tyre still holds the road not driving round on the tyre wall

I'd say 165/45 personally mate! I've got 195/40 on my 8s and that's perfect in my opinion

Yes they fit but there stretched to fuck tyres won't last no where near aslong as your basically driving on the true wall I'd fit the widest you can get away with without it catching arch rather that just lobbing a big stretch on, I ran huge stretch on my e36 cab I had 10j rears on it and I was constantly replacing tyres that still had 6mm tread in them because the inner walls were cracked and egged to fuck lol

They will work perfectly, I think 50s will work better than 45s actually.

Plans sound good look forward to seeing it

Wouldn't it be safer to just get smaller Springs?
