Default rim&tire size question?

ok my rims got STOLEN so its time to order some more.
the rims i wanna order are 17's (gunmetal volk te37's )however the smallest they make are 7.5 inches wide instead of 7 inches wide like my last ones.

My question is will a 7.5 inch wide rim fit inside of civic fenders when the car is lowered and will a 205 series tire fit a 7.5 inch wide rim?

Thanks!

I have 18s witha 7.5 width on my civic and they rub if you try to turn to far. I also removed my fender liners. It doesnt really bother me that much I mean i can drive normal with no problems. Thats witha 215/35/18 tire.

It will fit fine. You may have some problems with rubbing depending on how low your car is, the wheel offset and the alignment setup. It will fit though.
