No, I don't believe the 7.5" width fits. The 9" also doesn't clear due to the shape of the spokes. However and magically the 8" width does clear just barely, again because of the curve of the spokes....

Yes, I'll likely be going that route. First time setting the car up on 245's with coilovers and wanted to make sure everything fit and how much clearance I had all around.

Edited. That's the second time I've typed 'toe out' here. It's 1/16" toe in for stability, per RCE's recommendations.
