15 X 7.0J rim using 205/65/R15?

1983 W126 280SEL (W126 Chassis):

Hi all, could someone answer my simple query?

My stock MB 15-inch wheels are 15 X 7.0J, but 7-inch width equates to 180, shouldnt I be using a smaller width tire, say 195 instead of 205?

However, the 205 tires look perfectly alright, not oversized. Or could my rims be 15 X 8.0J?

I'm confused, where's the missing link?

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!
