Your rims are 5.5" wide like it says. I had 195's all round on my RA60 on those rims before I got my Soarer rims.
You could probably stretch to 205's, but even that is probably pushing it...

just remember, the higher profile your tires, the bigger rubber you can fit on them.
for example, the ma61 comes stock with 225 tires (I think?), but that can be changed to 265!

You can, but it's not a good idea. If the tyre is much wider than the rim, it will roll and wobble all over the place. It might look tough but it's not good for handling or grip!

Its like big arse 4WD tyres, I was in the back of my mates old Land-Cruiser with a 308 Holden V8. He got the thing sideways and it happened in 2 stages. The sidewalls had a really big lean, and then it started sliding.
NOT the thing you want if handling is your goal, maybe if you were in a drag, but thats about it...

You'd find it would be much better with 8" rims though. Even 225's are a little large for a 7" rim IMO.
