I've also got 7j rims. For tyres, I went to my local tyre fitters with a tape measure, and found that 225/50/15 tyres when on the shelf measured 7" between the beads, and sat really nicely on the wheels, no stretching either way. For the spare wheel, a 6j, I found that for me, 205/55/15, when sitting on the shelf measured 6" between the beads, so I have that as a spare. My Land Rover also has 7j rims, and has 235/85/16 tyres.

putting 205 on 7 j should be spot on
