Widest you can realistically run on a 7.5 is a 235, though most people will recommend running a 225. As Uncle Scotty (obscurely) suggested, an 8" wide wheel would allow you to run 235's or even 245's no problem.

a 17x7.5 is a waste of time
17x7 for winter 205/50 and 17x8 for the rest and anything from a 215/45 to a 245/45 |

Nothing wrong with 17x7.5s for winter. They came stock so I'm keeping 'em
