What are the widths, and offsets? with 205 tyres, they sound far to narrow matey.

With a 205 I\'d guess they\'d be something horrifically narrow like a 205, in a terrible offset.

Dotz wheels are also cheap and nasty.

Basically, the important specs you need to know are:

PCD: 5x114.3
Centre bore: 67mm.
Diamater: 16in(stock) up to (just about realistically) 19\'s, if you really want silly big wheels)

Offset and width are are big variables, so you can\'t really say, but something like 8j et45 and 9j et38 rear is a common FD fitment.

I\'ve got these on my RX8, since 18x8J RX8 wheels fit the 7 quite easily I don\'t see there would be any issue fitting these to a 7.
