Regarding the tires:
7.50 - 16 are half an inch bigger in their nominal width than 7.00 - 16 and as they are 100% profile they are one inch bigger in overall diameter. Therefore slightly less wheelarch clearance (not a problem on Jeeps), slightly higher top speed (handy) and slightly worse braking force (probably not noticeable). They will go straight on to the existing wheels as the hole in both sizes is 16".
Whether the new wheels fit the Jeep depends on the size of the centre hole and the number and pitch circle diameter of the holes for the fixing bolts. Simplest thing is just to try one in place and see if it fits, better to try a front one as sometimes the steering linkage fouls if the offset between the rim and the centre is wrong. It depends what the wheels were designed for.
