Will they fit on a 7.5 in. wide wheel and not look retarded or give up any performance?

yes they will fit... how they look depends on manufacturer.

u can fit them on like 8 inch wide rims. i ran that same exact setup on my rims for my 3000gt. ill get some pics up for u if i can find some

EDIT: i ran the same size tires but on rims that were 17x7. my bad

and I just wanted to make sure that the tires weren't going to be to wide and compromise sidewall integrity.

i mean dont like come after me if they blow up or something i just know the stock 16x8s on 3000gt come with 225 and i ran them on 17x7 too with no problem, so they should work but if u are really worried id like talk to a tire guy or contact the tire company. nice rims by the way, what car are they going on?

i've run 245's on a 16x8 wheel (z32) and currently running 215's on a 16 x 7" so really 225's on a 7.5 is the happy medium :)

225 will work well on a 7.5, assuming overall diameter is bout right
