7 is fine so they will fit boost alloys, standard modulars etc no problem.

Depends on the tyre, for instance the BFG AT in 275 width will fit a 7" rim. So have a look at the manufacturer's website for spec sheets, or ask your tyre suplier what the manufacturer's recommendations are.

And if they cant tell you, ask yourself if you want their tyres.
