You should be ok, main thing to watch is that the arches cover the tyres.

stretch on a 7.5 will look silly IMO. only really works on 8.5j upwards, toherwise the tread just looks pathetic from behind.

Thanks for the replies, that tyre strech site is helpful. I'm not looking to have a big stretch just a bit of a taper so it gives that little bit extra clearance and style.
