Default 17X7.5" wheels on 17X7" tires, any pics? issues?

basically I need to know if they will fit properly on the tires. I really like the Azul speed 5s but they are 17X7.5s. Is it okay to put that size on the stock tires (17X7) ? If you have pics., please post them. Or if you know of a place that sells them in size (17X7) for about the same price, PLEASE let me know. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will be fine. But if you can afford BETTER tires than stock, buy them too.

stretching it a bit but 7.5" should fit 215.... I think thats the least wide you can go on a 7.5 inch wheel.

yeh, i was afraid it would be stretching it, I think i'd rather have a better fit. I thought about getting the DR-12's but I heard from a post on SL that they were out of stock for a long while on discounttiredirect.com, and still are. so idk
