Default 16 x 7 vs 16 x 7.5.........what options of tire size?

For 16 inch rims, if I want to run the OEM size 215-45-16, which one is better? 7 or 7.5? What about 225 or even 245? Rubbing?

After you get your 245 series tires and drive really hard, take some pictures and post them. We'd all like to see what happens

All right, well I'm about to pick up some Toyo 205/45ZR16 T1-S's. I don't know a lot about tires. All I see here is people picking up azenis(spelling) and S0-3s. Let me know if T1-S's are good. From my research it seems like they are but I want some experiencenced opions.

The reason I asked is because most of the tires that I want only offer 245 with 45, no 205, 215, 225. I've seen 225/45-16 running well with probably a spacer. Hence the question.
