You will be just fine~ Go with a 185/40/r17 tire and I think you will be flush!

185/40/17? Is that even available? I think more along 205/40/17 or 205/45/17 would be better depending on how you wanna ride.

go 205/45/17. On those rims the height of the tire will be the same as stock. It will keep the speedo and odo good.

No, that is what I am running, no rubbing, no issues at all. Plus having a little sidewall helps the ride a little.

No. 205 on a 7" wide wheel is what most tire manufacturers consider ideal.

I would run the same 205/40/17. 205/40/17 Toyo Proxes 4's have approved rim widths of 7-8 but check your brand of tire to see what that manufacturer says. There isnt that much tire choice when running a 7" wide wheel. I prefer to stretch my tires but what can ya do.
