I have 7" wide rims, 16" wheels that I bought from ebay years ago. They came with 215/50-16 tires, put them on my 1997 CSE. The front tires rubbed a little on the inner wheel wells at steering wheel extremes. Otherwise they didn't rub.
These tires were Firestone Firehawks, which were absolutely horrible in the rain, so I replaced them with 205/50-16 dunlops, which handled better in all conditions. The wider tires did look cooler, but didn't work as well.
