Default Jim, tiresize options for a 16x7 rim

I'm looking at a set of 4 16x7 +45 rims.

Can they fit a 205(F) and 245

I use this size of rim for my snow tires (but mine are 44mm offset).
They work reasonably well for the snow tire application. With 7" width, a 225 will work well for the front. However, the "proper" 245 for the rear might be "pinched" a bit much. You may have to reduce tire pressures and this alone might affect the firmness of the tire and thus adversely affect handling. Also putting a 225 in the rear, of course, will ruin the prescribed "stagger" that the car needs.
Jim?

The 245/45R16 would not fit the 16X7 wheel. It will work with the 205/55R16 and 225/50R16.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
