on a 7" rim,you can`t get real big or your gonna have the tread face looking like a basketball,and the police might think your drunk 24/7 cause it`ll drive like crap.the 7" rallyes usually came with a 225/75/15 from factory/8" with 235/75/15-so go from there.if you have an understanding tire company that will mount tires until your satified,go for it.in place of a 235/75/15 tire that looks good,has a good amount of tread width,fills the wheelwell area,smokekiki has the right size,but i`m almost positive you`ll have to use the 8"rallye instaead of the 7"

I like a 215/70 on a 7" ralley,... and a 275/60 on a 8" ralley. (this is on 4/6 lowered vehicles) Kinda gives it the big and little look. Both fit the rims good and have plenty of sidewall.

I agree you don't want to get too big of a tire.I bought a 72 GMC that had 7" wheels and 275/60 tires on all 4 corners.It handled like crap till I changed to 255/60's.
