The issue is they are 7.5 inches wide and mine are the 8 inche size as was factory spec for my model.
If I don't plan on switching to larger tires, will the 7.5 inch wheel matter? As I said, they came from the factory with the same exact tire setup I'm running.

If the 7.5 and 8 wide are the same offset the 7.5 will tuck in .5” more. 225 is the widest you can put on a 7 wide rim so you’ll be fine tire size but might look bit odd tucked in that much unless using spacers. The stock 16x7 had offset off 47. Use

to see the differences in sizes and offsets you’re looking at.
