7x14 on the front is not too big at all and I would say ET 30 ish would be fine.
For the rears though 8 inches is quite wide, though with the 195's stretched on, you could probably get away with a similar offset of around ET 30.
My wheels are either ET 33 or 32 but are only 6 inch wide. The rears are nowhere near rubbing as the arches give quite a bit of clearance, though I think the fronts would be on the limit if it was any lower!
It's a tough call though and the best bet is to hope someone reads this post with a similar set up!!!
