99.99% yes...

You have to check the specs of a specific tire to find out for sure. Here's how those tire charts (specs) look:

If you look it also says "rim width range."

Should be self-explanatory from there.

7 is just an average of 6 and 8. Trust me, it's perfectly fine to run it on a 7.5" rim...

You can run a 245/45 tire on your 7.5 inch rim and be in spec. As Irish44j pointed out once, even thought it's in spec, it might be to wide if you autocross.
