AFAIK you can, the Range Rover Classic and 90 used to be fitted with the 205 R16 tyres (typically Michelin XM+S pattern) and if I recall, the RRC had alloys that were 7J.

Maybe someone else will comment - depends if the standard steel rims are 7J or not I think.

What wheels are you planning on putting them on? 2016 D4 HSE

Yes, 7J is the maximum rim width that a 205 (80) R16 tyre can go on. Minimum is 5J. Assumed default rim for that size is 5.5J.
